The Green Bay Packers and Denver Broncos had a high-stakes game at Empower Field at Mile High on Sunday.
Both teams are two of the highest-ranked teams in the NFL for the 2025-26 season, which brought an added stress to the matchup.
Games such as this one mean tensions are running high, which can result in some drama on the field. Before the game even started, the Packers and Broncos had a fight break out that was quickly broken up by officials for the safety of the players.

Roughly 30 minutes before kickoff, Broncos linebacker Dre Greenlaw found himself in the middle of a scuffle involving at least a dozen Packers players. Greenlaw's teammates had to come to his rescue and separate him from the group.

The incident was caught on camera and published on several social media accounts.
"Dre Greenlaw mixing it up a bit with the Packers pregame," Sleeper Broncos stated on its official X account. "This game setting up to be an intense one."
CBS Sports also aired a video before the game started showing how the fight began.
In the footage, Broncos linebacker Alex Singleton appears to shove Packers defensive end Rashan Gary, and then, the Packers players ran onto the field. Then, Gary came back to Singleton, grabs onto his facemask and Greenlaw appears.

"Here's an angle of the pregame dust-up," Luca Evans of the Denver Post stated on X. "Looks like it's Dre Greenlaw in the middle of things here surrounded by a throng of Packers. Then Nik Bonitto comes back for more."
Both Singleton and Greenlaw have a high probability of getting slapped with NFL punishment due to their pregame antics. In Week 7, Greenlaw was already suspended for one game after chasing NFL referee Brad Allen after a 33-32 win over the New York Giants, so being hit with another penalty wouldn't be his first rodeo.
The Broncos and Packers are both favorites to contend for a Super Bowl this season. Entering into the game, Denver has an 11-2 record and 10 consecutive wins under its belt. Meanwhile, the Packers have a 9-3-1 record with four consecutive wins, their latest being against rivals the Chicago Bears.
