The Issue

As a Minnesota Vikings fan, it's important for us to uphold the integrity of our players' records and ensure that they are accurately reflected. Recently, during the London game against Cleveland, Will Reichard's missed field goal was counted against him, despite evidence suggesting that the missed attempt was due to interference by a camera cable. Such circumstances should warrant a re-kick, preserving the player's statistical record and maintaining fairness in the game.

The incident occurred when the football clearly struck a camera cable which interfered with its trajectory, ultimately leading to the miss. Unfortunately, this was not recognized by the referees in real-time, leading to an unfair penalty on Reichard's otherwise impeccable record. It's not just about one player's statistics; it is about maintaining the integrity and fairness in football for all players. A camera cable should never determine the outcome of a play.

Given the critical nature of maintaining the sport's integrity and the intense scrutiny players undergo, we call upon the NFL and the officiating committee to review the footage and take appropriate action. This includes removing the missed field goal from Will Reichard's record and instituting guidelines to prevent similar incidents in the future. Such measures are essential to ensure that no player is unjustly penalized due to external interference.

We urge fans and officials alike to stand by the principles of fairness and accuracy. By signing this petition, you support a fair chance for all players and the rectification of Will Reichard's record. Your signature will emphasize the importance of integrity and fairness in sports. Please sign and help rectify this oversight, ensuring that justice prevails in the game we all love.
