Fox showed Lynch gold cleats but ESPN is reporting that Lynch would be suspended for both this past game and the Super Bowl if he wore them. They are saying he did not wear them

So old clip / this is going to be an issue??? Anyone look at their dvr to see what he wore? Wonder if he simply took them off in halftime

He never wore them. Glazer talked about it pre-game, said NFL wouldn't allow him to play until he switched, Lynch was not happy obviously, and ended up just switching cleats to be able to play.

This was the one he wanted to wear.

Me thinks Rog is focused on the wrong things. He has much more pressing issues like the state of officating amongst other things than to be worried about the color of cleats that a RB he doesn't like is wearing. What a tool!

"god's" reaction to this sort of thing is indeed petty.

But think about what would happen if the league began allowing it? Divas would start pushing their own version of the uniform in various ways; the line is drawn here because a line needs to be drawn somewhere. With that in mind, I understand their need to protect the "product" on the field and uniform standards.

I'd have loved to see Beast rolling with the gold footwear, though.

A 1-2 game ban for not wearing approved shoes?!? What did Suh get for stomping on Rogers? Meh

If he had worn them and then realized the issue then I agree way overblown punishment.

BUT being told before that he can't wear them and still put them on.... Yeah that would have been pissing some people off. As is he gave the finger after a TD and left without being available to the media. $100k fine coming up
