Josh Jacobs is fittin' in just fine in Green Bay ... the Pro Bowl running back copped a pair of custom cleats, inspired by the fan base's iconic "Cheesehead" look during the Packer's win on Sunday!

You might've noticed the dope spikes on Jacobs' feet during the Packers vs. Titans game at the Nissan Stadium in Nashville ... where GB handed Tennessee their third consecutive loss of the season.

TMZ Sports has learned the cleats -- designed by his go-to sneaker guy, Luke Dangler -- were built on the Nike Vapor Edge 360 cleat ... and are covered in Packers green and yellow. But, the coolest part is the Swiss cheese holes painted on 'em.

Tyreek Hill has just hired a slew of new attorneys -- including one who helped represent George Floyd's family following his death in 2020 -- in an effort to try to ignite national police reform following his now-infamous run-in with cops in Miami earlier this month.

Hill's original lawyer in the case, Julius B. Collins, announced the hirings on Monday morning ... some two weeks after the NFL superstar was pulled out of his sports car and thrown onto the ground by Miami-Dade Police officers during a routine traffic stop.

Collins revealed he'll now be joined by Jeffrey A. Neiman, Stephen B. Kelly, Jr. and Devon M. Jacob -- who worked alongside Ben Crump in Floyd's family's 2020 civil case -- as Hill pushes for change in police departments across the nation.

Seems we have further proof there's no bad blood between Brittany Mahomes and Taylor Swift ... because the wife of Patrick Mahomes rocked an outfit to the Chiefs game Sunday that appeared to be inspired by a look the pop star wore to Arrowhead Stadium just a week prior.

Check out the ensemble Brittany sported to Kansas City's road matchup against the Falcons -- it featured an oversized K.C. shirt, some short shorts and a pair of knee-high boots. She completed it all with a half-up, half-down blonde hairdo.

Of course, back on Sept. 15, Swift wore a nearly identical 'fit to watch Travis Kelce and the Chiefs take on the Bengals ... and while similar clothes don't exactly mean the two are BFFs forever, it sure seems to throw water on the rumors their friendship's hit a skid due to their political differences.

Still, the two didn't hang out during Kansas City's trip to Atlanta -- Swift wasn't seen at the stadium ... as she appeared to hang back in New York following dinner with Gigi Hadid on Saturday night.

Mrs. Mahomes still seemed to have fun, though. She was spotted cheesin' on the sidelines and in a luxury box throughout the game -- proudly putting her Swift-like look on display as her hubby and co. improved to 3-0 on the season.

Travis Kelce looked dispirited on the sidelines after Taylor Swift was an apparent no-show at Sunday's Kansas City Chiefs game -- prompting people online to theorize what if anything was wrong with him.

In a viral video, the Chiefs star tight end was captured with a long face as he took a break to watch his team play against the Atlanta Falcons at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Georgia.

Check out the brief clip ... Travis sat on a bench with his head down, wiping one eye with his hand and glancing to one side. He seemed a little sad, but it's not clear by what or if it was nothing at all.

Peyton Manning donned the Tennessee Orange once again on Sunday ... throwing on shoulder pads and his old No. 16 threads for Morgan Wallen's big concert in Knoxville!!

The country music superstar had a gig at the Volunteers' Neyland Stadium ... and as he made his way to the stage for the set, the two-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback helped walk him out.

Manning -- who tore it up for the Vols in the mid '90s -- understood the assignment ... even wearing a helmet as he escorted Wallen from the locker room.

There was plenty of action on the field during the thrilling 49ers vs. Rams game Sunday -- but there might have been even more off of it ... as a few fans -- including one woman -- got in a wild fight in a SoFi Stadium concourse.

The fracas happened at some point during L.A.'s improbable 27-24 comeback victory over San Francisco ... when a man in a Cooper Kupp jersey and a George Kittle supporter got into a dispute that turned physical.

Video shot by a bystander shows the Niner fan begged the Rams backer to slug him in the face -- and the guy quickly obliged, sticking him with a left jab. Seconds later, a woman who appeared to be with the Kittle fan hopped in to try to avenge the punch.

Taylor Swift might be taking a week off from watching her boyfriend Travis Kelce's games ... 'cause it doesn't look like she's at the Chiefs game in Atlanta -- at least, not yet.

The Chiefs tight end's taking on the Falcons down in The Big Beach Sunday night in primetime on NBC ... and, many expected T-Swift to make the trek down south to cheer on her man.

Usually, fans post and repost a tons of pics and vids to X featuring the pop star before the game starts ... watching as she makes her way to a luxury box, usually with a friend or two in tow.

Warren Moon believes Deshaun Watson's legal woes are contributing to his recent stretch of poor play ... telling TMZ Sports, "I think a lot of his problems are mental."

The Cleveland Browns star, of course, has battled double-digit cases in courtrooms throughout the past few years ... and, just recently, he was sued once more by another woman accusing him of sexual assault.

The quarterback hasn't ever said publicly if it's all affected him on the field ... but when we talked this week to Moon -- who developed a friendship with the 29-year-old signal-caller during his time in Houston, Texas (where Warren's a legend) -- he told us it's hard to believe it's not impacting him on the field.

Seems Travis Kelce's going to be just fine in Hollywood after he hangs up his football cleats ... 'cause award-winning actress Niecy Nash, who just worked with the Chiefs star on "Grotesquerie," tells TMZ Sports he's got some very real acting chops.

Nash shoveled the praise on her costar while she was leaving the Emmys earlier this week -- dropping compliments all over Kelce a few days before the duo's big series debuts on FX.

Nash said viewers will be "pleasantly surprised" by Kelce's performance ... before she predicted he will do "very, very well" if and when he makes acting his full-time career.

Grammy-winning jazz musician Robert Glasper knows a thing or two about jamming with Kendrick Lamar ... and he says his schedule will miraculously be free should he get the call to join him on that Super Bowl 59 halftime stage!!!

We linked with Rob at LAX Friday, and he tells us the chances may be slim, but if K. Dot needs him to key up any tracks from his 2015 monster album "To Pimp A Butterfly," he's the guy -- because he was the guy when it was recorded!!!

Rob worked on smooth songs such as "These Walls" and "The Blacker The Berry" with his homies Terrace Martin and Thundercat ... amazing compositions -- but thinks K. Dot will crank up the energy for the Big Dance and drop "Not Like Us."

The Sunday afternoon shooting at a Detroit Lions tailgate party that resulted in the loss of two lives was all captured on video ... and, warning, the footage is graphic.

In the clip, obtained by TMZ Sports, you can see several men were out at Eastern Market in downtown Detroit following the Lions' loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Ford Field ... when an argument breaks out.

At least half a dozen people can be seen exchanging words ... when, suddenly, one of the guys wearing a black T-shirt and black jeans brandishes a gun in his right hand.

Nikki Glaser is one of the best roast masters around ... but she learned a valuable lesson in time and a place on Thursday -- 'cause her postgame joke routine was largely met with crickets.

The comedian was nabbed to provide some lighthearted analysis following the New York Jets' 24-3 routing of the New England Patriots on Prime Video's "Thursday Night Football" -- joining Charissa Thompson, Andrew Whitworth, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Richard Sherman and Tony Gonzalez on the desk.

The segment -- dubbed "Late Hits" -- lasted several minutes ... and Glaser playfully went in on the Amazon talent right in their faces before setting her sights on the game.

Aaron Rodgers and Robert Saleh had such a weird moment on the sideline of the Jets game Thursday night, it had many wondering if the two were beefing ... but the quarterback was adamant following the contest that he and his coach are just fine.

The awkward scene unfolded in the second quarter of New York's blowout win over the New England Patriots at MetLife Stadium ... when Saleh went to give his star signal-caller a hug following a touchdown drive.

Check out video from the Amazon broadcast, as Saleh went to throw his arms around Rodgers .... the QB rebuked the embrace -- and muttered something that appeared to make his head coach recoil.

In the wake of Tua Tagovailoa's recent string of head injuries ... Warren Moon is revealing he, too, struggled with concussions during his NFL career -- but, he tells TMZ Sports he's not feeling any real effects from them decades later.

The 67-year-old Hall of Famer played for multiple franchises from 1984 to 2000 -- and he says during that timeframe, he was diagnosed with a concussion on six separate occasions.

Moon, though, told us he still considers himself very healthy ... and is consistently passing all of his medical checkups despite the repeated blows to the head he suffered when he was a star signal-caller.

Former Clemson football star Diondre Overton was laid to rest at a heartfelt ceremony on Thursday ... less than two weeks after cops say he was shot and killed at a house party.

Arizona Cardinals linebacker Xavier Thomas -- Overton's former Tiger teammate -- shared a video on his Instagram page of the funeral services held at the Westover Church in Greensboro, North Carolina ... and you can see, it was all very emotional.

At the venue, Overton's loved ones paid tribute to the 26-year-old by displaying his Clemson football gear next to LED lights that spelled out his nickname, "Dre." Photos of him during his years with the Tigers were also arranged near a stage.

A new Manning Era is officially upon us ... Texas has just named Arch Manning -- the nephew of Peyton and Eli -- its starting quarterback.

The Longhorns announced the move on Thursday via X ... by posting a photo of Arch from when he entered the UTSA game last week following Heisman Trophy candidate Quinn Ewers' injury.

Head coach Steve Sarkisian said with Ewers' oblique still ailing ... Arch will get the QB1 nod for the first time in his UT career when the Longhorns take on ULM on Saturday in Austin.
