Broncos players to wear special cleats in Week 14

Broncos players will wear special cleats in Week 14 to show support for special causes.

Denver Broncos players will participate in “My Cause, My Cleats” this week when they face the Houston Texans on the road.

The NFL has been doing this once a season since 2016 to give players an opportunity to “showcase the charitable cause that is most important to them for a national audience” through custom-designed cleats.

“A lot of people have something they have a cause for and something that they have aspirations to help or bring awareness for,” Broncos cornerback Chris Harris said Tuesday.

“This is just a great job by the NFL being able to allow us to do this and allow us to have something to stand for and something to represent this weekend. I’m glad they started doing that, for sure.”

Saints reveal uniform combination for Week 14 vs. 49ers

The New Orleans Saints announced their jersey-pants uniform combination for their Week 14 game against the San Francisco 49ers.

[jwplayer FgrNrsL9-ThvAeFxT]

The New Orleans Saints will be wearing black jerseys with black pants during Sunday’s game with the San Francisco 49ers, the team announced in an email shared with season-ticket holders detailing gameday festivities. The black-on-black uniform has been the Saints’ most-common look dating back to the 2017 season, and one of their most-winningest, logging a 15-5 record.

NFL rules stipulate that teams may only wear alternate jerseys (like the Saints’ “Color Rush” duds) three times per season, and they hit that limit last week against the Atlanta Falcons (having previously broken out the threads earlier this year in games with the Seattle Seahawks and Dallas Cowboys). So we’ll be rolling with the black home jerseys and white away jerseys the rest of the season.

For the superstitious: the all-black look ranks high in winning percentage among uniform combinations used often since Sean Payton was hired to coach the team, back in 2006. We’d be remiss to not mention the alternate gold jerseys used during a 2002 game against the Minnesota Vikings, which they lost 32-31. Those jerseys haven’t been seen since.

Here is every uniform permutation used by the Saints during Payton’s tenure, ranked by winning percentage:

  • White jerseys, white pants: 3-0 (1.000)
  • “Color Rush” alternates: 6-2 (.750)
  • Black and gold throwbacks: 2-1 (.667)
  • Black jerseys, gold pants: 23-13 (.639)
  • Black jerseys, black pants: 40-26 (.606)
  • White jerseys, black pants: 38-25 (.603)
  • White jerseys, gold pants: 31-24 (.564)
