Denver Broncos' left guard Dalton Risner got into an argument with backup quarterback Brett Rypien, and even pushed him out of the way.

The offensive line has been brutally bad all season, and Rypien himself was taking quite a few hits when he was in against the Cardinals. The very beginning of the video shows Risner literally shoving the much smaller and weaker Rypien. In what was an overall ugly day, the Broncos’ poor performance even spilled over into the sidelines.

Wilson was sacked on consecutive plays to end a drive with the team trailing 34-6 in the third quarter. Wilson, who ended up playing peacemaker to ease tensions, finished the game completing 15-of-27 passes for 214 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions. CBS sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson was the first to report on the incident.

Denver Broncos teammates Dalton Risner and Brett Rypien made up Monday morning after an argument on Sunday in the Rams game.

CBS cameras caught backup passer Brett Rypien in a heated discussion with Dalton Risner and the rest of Denver's offensive line.

Plenty of unfriendly words were shared between the two sides, leading to Risner telling Rypien to "do something about it." Love Ryp.” Rypien said same, it was miscommunication.— Mike Klis (@mikeklis) Dalton Risner just explained Brett Rypien came over and told offensive line they have to help pick Russ up after a sack. Wilson threw three interceptions of his own. Frustrations over the lost season again boiled over on Christmas. Following the game, Risner explained that it was a "miscommunication" between he and Rypien, and that Rypien was displeased with the offensive line failing to pick up Russell Wilson after a sack.

This season can't end soon enough for the Broncos, who fired head coach Nathaniel Hackett on Monday. The embarrassing 51-14 loss to the Rams was the last ...

Broncos offensive lineman, and Walter Payton Man of the Year nominee, tries to fight backup QB Brett Rypien who was defending Russell Wilson.

That is an award given by the NFL to a player who shows “outstanding community service activities off the field, as well as excellence on it.” One of them being a 51-14 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Dalton Risner, the Broncos Walter Payton Man of the Year nominee, forcefully shoves Rypien and then tells him to “Do something!” Again, nothing out of the ordinary. The closest player on both plays is offensive tackle Cameron Fleming. Nothing out of the ordinary there.

In a not so merry finale for the team on Sunday, Rypien promptly threw a fourth quarter pick-six to put the final touch on Denver's Christmas disaster.
