The NFL has acknowledged the merits of our position and corrected the official record to reflect the touchdown. Your commitment to ensuring fairness for Zach Miller has yielded a successful result. I appreciate the focus you maintained throughout this effort.

As we send Zach Miller prayers and best wishes on his recovery from injury experienced on Sunday October 29th in New Orleans, we petition the NFL to correct the record and give Zach Miller credit for this touchdown. The Bears nation has heard from fans of all teams, that Zach Miller made a tremendous catch and should have been awarded the TD he earned.
Bears legend Otis Wilson states it best on twitter “The toughness required to hold onto the ball while sustaining a knee injury as severe as that looked is NEXT. LEVEL. @ZachMiller86 has my utmost respect.” Further, Zach is a tremendous athlete who gives back to the development of his team and community. Most recently, Zach was awarded the Brian Piccolo award for his exemplification of courage, loyalty, dedication and teamwork. As Zach focuses on his health, family, and recovery, let’s do the right thing and correct Zach’s record to reflect this amazing touchdown.
The results of this petition will be presented to the NFL in NY and will be made available to Zach.
Here are a couple articles regarding the catch:

The feedback regarding this officiating decision remains consistent among experts and fans alike. I am currently compiling all relevant testimonials and media coverage to present as a formal request for an official record correction. Maintaining this momentum is necessary to ensure the league acknowledges the merits of this catch.

So that's not a touchdown but Tyrod Taylor sticking the ball across the plain and almost immediately getting it knocked out of his hands is? The players who crosses the plain with the ball should have to maintain no matter where he is on the field. Zach did that, and let go because his knee just got destroyed. Get real NFL
This was a completed pass, he held onto the ball throughout the process, sat up still holding the ball. Get this catch process straightened out, the NFL depends on clear rules. otherwise who needs the NFL?!? Thanks Dave Miller
Zach Miller is a warrior and a credit to the Bears organization. Oh, and that was one hell of a catch! A class act on and off the field. Do the right thing!
Even if he didn't have a gruesome injury, that was a legit catch. The league office should own up to the blatant mistake made by the replay officials and award his TD back to Zach on what very well may end up the last play of his entire career. A spectacular play at that.
From a Vikings fan, that was an obvious TD before we even knew he was hurt. Prayers go out, let his leg heal and I hope he can walk and have a normal life after the NFL.
Give Zach his rightful touchdown.
Greatest catch of Bears history! Just shows how corrupt the NFL is.

I have read official response from the NFL senior VP of officiating Al Riveron. I still do not agree and I cannot understand how a league predicated on scoring (in an era of pass first offensive schemes) can STILL have question marks related to what a "catch" is and can overturn one in the endzone that is a CLEAR catch from every angle.
