ORLANDO — NFL head of officiating Al Riveron supplied only a one-word answer when asked Monday if Zach Miller, by the league’s proposed re-written definition of a catch, would’ve kept his touchdown on the play that might’ve also ended his career.
“Touchdown,” Riveron said.
Nothing else really needed to be said. Miller shredded the popliteal artery in his left leg when he awkwardly landed in the Superdome end zone, an injury so serious it nearly required his knee to be amputated. That Miller’s touchdown was taken away by the league’s obtuse rules added insult to injury, quite literally.
