As lifelong Vikings fans and Proud Members of the “Let’s Skol Podcast”, and with the solidarity of Vikings fans around the world, we cherish the legacy left by our favorite players. Jared Allen's outstanding performance in the 2011 NFL season is a pinnacle moment we hold dear. To our community, Jared Allen isn't just a player; he's a symbol of perseverance and skill on the football field. Acknowledging his true achievement would be both a monumental gesture of respect and an accurate reflection of history.

Jared Allen achieved an extraordinary feat in 2011 by recording an official 22 sacks. Among us Vikings enthusiasts, this was more than numbers—it personified our pride and spirit. However, Jared lays claim to 23 sacks, based on an incident in a Week 11 game against the Green Bay Packers, where he contends he was deprived of a sack that was reclassified as a team sack or a 'muff.' This discrepancy, while seemingly minor, impacts not just Jared's record but also the accuracy of NFL historical statistics.

In a sport measured meticulously by statistics, every sack counts. Recognizing Jared Allen’s claim respects the player’s dignity and ensures that the records where legends are made remain truthful. The difference between 22 and 23 sacks also differentiates between being among the greatest and being the best. Official recognition of the sack would validate not only Jared's efforts and skills but also the spirit of competitiveness inherent in the NFL.

The method of recording and reviewing NFL statistics is entrenched with precision. However, human error can or may have caused discrepancies in other similar situations. This petition is a call to the NFL to review Allen's performance once more, with full transparency, and update the records to reflect what we believe to be the true historical account.

Jared Allen's contribution to the Minnesota Vikings and his impact on the field should be honored with rightful acknowledgment of his achievements. Let's rally together to ensure that Jared receives the recognition he deserves, and to maintain the integrity of NFL records.

Sign this petition to ensure justice is served for one of our own and ensure that the history of the game we love remains accurate.
