Very similar to Roll The Tapes.

An American football term for when the quarterback drops to one knee immediately after receiving the snap, thus automatically ending the play.
The use of taking a knee comes only near the end of a game when your team is in possession of the ball and holds a narrow lead (by a touchdown or less). If you execute a run or pass play, you risk turning the ball over and allowing the opposing team to gain possession and a chance to score. By taking a knee, you are able to run down the clock without putting the ball at risk.
A boring, if strategically important, play.
Coach: John, listen - we got 5 seconds remaining, pass the ball to Porter, Porter - you'll take a knee and end this game.
Players: Goooooooooooo........ Tigers!
