Before the opening whistle of the Week 15 NFL 2025 game between the Green Bay Packers and Denver Broncos at Empower Field at Mile High, the atmosphere was already as hot as a playoff game with a small scuffle between players from both teams during warm-ups. The viral video on X (Twitter) from reporter Arye Pulli shows Packers’ EDGE Rashan Gary “jawing” (taunting, provoking) with some Broncos players. Suddenly, Broncos linebacker Alex Singleton shoves Gary first, leading to chaos involving other players, including Dre Greenlaw (possibly Dre’Mont Jones in the Broncos context). Coaches had to intervene to separate them, but this situation added heat to the game, where the Broncos ultimately secured a convincing 34-26 victory, pushing the Packers into a tougher spot in the playoff race.
The dark secret behind the scuffle: Family insult – an unforgivable “red line”! But the drama doesn’t stop there! After the loss, EDGE Rashan Gary officially spoke out in a media interview, revealing the real cause leading to the brawl. According to Gary, it started with usual taunts, but quickly escalated when Alex Singleton – the veteran Broncos linebacker – crossed the line by heavily insulting his family. Specifically, Singleton is said to have dragged Gary’s mother into it, mocking her fragile health after a recent stroke, even uttering harsh words like “Your mom is as weak as the Packers’ defense, easy to collapse!”. This touched Gary’s “red line,” a player known for his team spirit and professionalism. Unable to let the family insult go – the most sacred thing to anyone – Gary reacted strongly, leading to the shove and on-field chaos.
Gary seriously speaks out: “No one is allowed to touch my family – that’s a boundary that cannot be crossed, and I’ll protect it at all costs!” In the post-game interview, Gary maintained a serious but emotional tone, affirming his action was to protect honor. This situation not only heated up the pre-game atmosphere but also contributed to the Packers losing focus, leading to a humiliating defeat. Packers fans are “furious” with Singleton, while Broncos fans defend that it was just usual “trash-talk.” The NFL may investigate the incident, but Gary was clear: He doesn’t regret his reaction. This loss causes the Packers to fall back in the NFC North, but could the family drama ignite a “fire” for them in the remaining games?
