Browns wideouts Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry were forced to change their cleats at halftime of Cleveland’s Week 9 contest in Denver. The receivers were wearing custom-painted shoes that did not conform with the NFL’s uniform policy.
In fact, the Browns were told the receivers would not be allowed to play in the second half if they returned to the field wearing the shoes in question, according to the CBS broadcast.
It’s yet another distraction from the football game, one in which the Browns are losing 17-12 at the half. With both teams wearing dark colors, it’s actually been easier to identify Beckham and Landry by their standout footwear.
