The Buffalo Bills will take part in the annual My Cause My Cleats initiative when they face the Houston Texans during their Week 12 matchup.

During the Thursday Night Football showdown between the two AFC teams, players will be wearing specially designed cleats that support their chosen cause. A player-led initiative, this annual event draws plenty of attention as players, coaches, and staff members wear specially designed cleats.

While the cause being highlighted is what's important, the designs are also fun to check out. This year, the Bills have already unveiled some excellent designs.
