Falcons Continue Tradition of Impact in 10th Annual My Cause My Cleats Game

For the 10th consecutive season, Falcons players and coaches will take the field with purpose that goes far beyond football. When Atlanta hosts the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, the team will once again raise awareness and show support for meaningful causes as part of the NFL’s My Cause My Cleats initiative.

What began in 2016 as a player-led campaign has grown into a league-wide movement. My Cause My Cleats empowers players to highlight the organizations and missions that matter most to them—transforming customized cleats into powerful storytelling pieces. This year, the initiative will be celebrated across all NFL games in Weeks 12–13, with more than 1,400 players, coaches, Legends, and staff participating.

In Atlanta, more than 70 Falcons players and coaches have selected causes to represent on their cleats and shoes for Sunday’s rivalry matchup. These causes span health advocacy, youth development, community upliftment, disease research, mental health awareness, animal welfare, and more—reflecting the diverse passions and personal journeys across the roster.

Fans can explore all participating causes at the official My Cause My Cleats hub on AtlantaFalcons.com.
