During the confrontation, Greenlaw head-butted the helmetless Jones, which led to his ejection.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Check out what happened here:<\/p>\n<p>Greenlaw is one of the 49ers&#8217; best players on defense, and entered this matchup ranked second on the team in tackles with 34. He&#8217;s also their emotional leader. That was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nfl\/news\/sean-paytons-disrespect-49ers-dre-greenlaw-dominates-broncos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">on full display<\/a> during San Francisco&#8217;s Week 4 victory against the <a class=\"Annotation-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nfl\/teams\/DEN\/denver-broncos\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Denver Broncos<\/a>\u00a0last Sunday, when he confronted his former head coach Sean Payton, telling him to &#8220;Get the f&#8211;k off the field.&#8221; He was also fined $11,941 by the league for taunting the Broncos&#8217; bench.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He was fired up all week,&#8221; <a class=\"Annotation-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nfl\/players\/2818265\/george-kittle\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">George Kittle<\/a> said of Greenlaw last Sunday. &#8220;I think you could&#8217;ve asked anybody who played with Dre Greenlaw for his first four or five years he was here, I think 90% of the roster would say that he was their favorite teammate.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As evidenced by Sunday, sometimes that emotion can have unwanted ramifications. Greenlaw received a one-game\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nfl\/news\/dre-greenlaw-suspended-one-game-referee-incident-broncos-giants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">suspension last season<\/a>\u00a0when he ran after an official and jawed at them following a game-winning field goal.
