Overview

  • The NFL announced Saturday that Justin Strnad was fined $15,486 for making contact with referee Brad Allen following Denver’s Week 7 win over the Giants.
  • Linebacker Dre Greenlaw was suspended one game earlier in the week for pursuing and verbally threatening Allen as he left the field.
  • ESPN reported Greenlaw’s suspension will cost him a $192,778 game check and a $90,000 per-game roster bonus.
  • Strnad was not suspended and is expected to start at Greenlaw’s inside linebacker spot against the Cowboys in Week 8.
  • Both incidents occurred moments after Wil Lutz’s 39-yard field goal sealed a 33-point fourth quarter comeback; cornerback Riley Moss was also fined $8,253 for a separate facemask penalty.
