The Philadelphia Eagles routed the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 8, 37-17. You know it's a convincing, one-sided win when one of the biggest issues in the game was having a use a timeout because quarterback Jalen Hurts lost his shoe after being hit into the sideline, per Greg Giesen and Martin Frank of the Delaware News Journal.

“That was a first,” Hurts said . “I hate that we had to burn a timeout on that one. I had a double-knot. Usually when I wear a low top, Air Jordan, I gotta tie them up real tight so I can have ankle support.

“I tied it up so tight that I could not take the knot off. I had to go Jalen 2 shoes for a bit. We got some points, so that was cool.”

“I did (have to cut off the laces), but the thing is, I talked to (the equipment person) in the back: This is something that's small. No one would think about it in terms of how much work and time, how much pride our equipment team puts into it … (The equipment person) was killing himself that we had to burn a timeout because of the shoe.

“And I'm like, ‘Hey, man, next play. It's all right, let it go.' I'll never have a shortage of shoes, to say the least. I'm glad we were able to make the most of it, for sure.”

One Eagles fan took to social media to hype Hurts' unique combination of Jordan shoes.

“BREAKING: Jalen Hurts about to have one of the sickest Jordan shoe promos of all time lmao.”
