My Cause My Cleats: Which causes are the Falcons supporting?
The NFL is allowing players to wear customized cleats in honor of different causes they support during Week 13 as part of the league’s “My Cause My Cleats” initiative.
The Atlanta Falcons take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, and the players are looking forward for the chance to bring awareness to the issues they care most about.
Here’s a look at each cause the Falcons will be supporting on their cleats in Week 13.
