Green Bay Packers head coach Matt Lafleur and Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton.
If you want to know the animosity and intensity between any 2 NFL teams, simply gauge how they treat each other during pregame warmups — a process that doesn’t invite itself to any kind of animosity.
If you see them talking smack or getting in a massive dustup like the one before the Denver Broncos hosted the Green Bay Packers in Week 15, you can be sure you’re about to see a battle.
Broncos linebacker Dre Greenlaw was in the middle of a huge pregame dustup before his teammates came over and separated him after being surrounded by a dozen or so Packers just 30 minutes before kickoff in Denver.
“Dre Greenlaw mixing it up a bit with the Packers pregame,” Sleeper Broncos wrote on its official X account. “This game setting up to be a intense one.”
The Broncos and Packers are both leading Super Bowl contenders. Denver enters the game with an 11-2 record and having won 10 consecutive games. The Packers are 9-3-1 having won 4 consecutive games.
