Raiders WR DeSean Jackson ordered to remove John Madden tribute cleats

The NFL's Sunday game lineup was peppered with tributes to the John Madden, but the league apparently didn't like how Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver DeSean Jackson paid homage to the late Hall of Fame coach.

Jackson said on his Instagram story following Sunday's victory over the Indianapolis Colts that he was ordered by officials to take off the tribute silver-and-black cleats he was sporting in honor of the legendary Raiders coach, which featured Madden's face and signature. According to Jackson, officials told him he wouldn't be allowed to play unless he changed his shoes.

He wrote: "NFL hated on me and said if I didn't take cleats off they was gonna remove me from the game!! I had these made for the legendary John Madden."

Turns out, Jackson wasn't the only player to rock tribute footwear on Sunday, with Buffalo Bills wideout Stefon Diggs also sporting Madden-inspired cleats on Sunday. There has been no word as to whether Diggs was also told by officials to change cleats at any point on Sunday.
