Earlier this season Denver Broncos linebacker Dre Greenlaw received a one-game suspension after he chased down an NFL official and allegedly threatened him following the team's 33-32 victory over the New York Giants.
“The NFL issued the suspension for a violation of Rule 12, Section 3, Article 1(b), which prohibits ‘the use of abusive, threatening or insulting language or gestures to opponents, teammates, officials, or representatives of the League,’” the league said in a press release at the time. “After the conclusion of the Giants-Broncos game, Greenlaw chased after referee Brad Allen and verbally threatened him as he tried to leave the field."
The suspension might not be the only punishment for Greenlaw this season if a former Kansas City Chiefs star is correct.

During a Thursday Night Football showdown against the Las Vegas Raiders, Greenlaw was seen with a very late hit on wide receiver Tre Tucker. No flag was thrown on the play, but former All-Pro offensive lineman Mitchell Schwartz, who won a Super Bowl with the Chiefs, believes Greenlaw might hear from the NFL on a possible fine.
"Greenlaw might be hearing from the NFL again this week," Schwartz suggested on social media after showing video of the hit.
The Broncos are set to face off against the Chiefs in Week 11 as the two fight for a potential AFC West crown - though the Los Angeles Chargers are also in the thick of the division title race. Greenlaw likely won't be suspended for such a hit, but could be subject to a fine should the league think his actions on the field were excessive in nature.
