CINCINNATI -- If mismatched shoes become a trend in the coming weeks, we have Jalen Hurts to thank.

Hurts' shoe -- he started with a green pair of Jordan 4 PEs -- came off early in the fourth quarter during a run along the left sideline.
Getting it back on was an issue and the Eagles had to burn a timeout. "I had a double knot. Usually when I wear a low top Air Jordan I have to tie them up real tight so I can have good ankle support.
I tied it up so tight I could not take the knot off, so I had to go Jalen two-shoes for a bit," Hurts said. Jalen Hurts out there with mismatched cleats 😅 pic.twitter.

Hurts said an equipment staffer was beating himself up over the situation, so Hurts offered the kind of pep talk normally reserved for a teammate. "I was like, 'Hey man, next play,'" Hurts said. "It's all right.
Let it go.".
