The NFL's 'My Cause, My Cleats' campaign is a celebration of the positive impact that pro football has made in communities across America. The Philadelphia Eagles and other players across the country are allowed to wear designed cleats showcasing charities and causes they are passionate about when they are off of the field.
This week, the Eagles' social media team dropped a visual of the Eagles brass and Jalen Hurts making the wishes of some area youth come true. QB1 spent some time on Tuesday playing BINGO at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
Jalen Hurts welcomes youth who helped inspire his cleats to Week 14's game.
We take a moment here to tip our caps to those awesome youngsters. On Sunday, before kickoff of the Eagles vs. Carolina Panthers game, Jalen Hurts again took some time to welcome and hang out with a handful of the youngsters who helped inspire his cleats as they shared smiles and took a few flicks.

That's awesome. Those are moments those kids will never forget. Now, on to the next order of business. As Jalen states, he'll be carrying his new friends with him into Week 14's game vs. the Carolina Panthers.
The Birds need a win to stay with a game and a half of the NFC-leading Detroit Lions. They won on Thursday Night Football in a thriller over their division rivals, the Green Bay Packers. The most recent win gave the Lions a 12-1 record.
