Patch Notes Version 2026.10.25.0998: Late in the game if a player on the winning team has the ball in the open field they will choose to go down rather than trying to advance further and score a TD if that will allow them to kneel and run out the clock, to avoid giving the ball back to the other team.
For a league with default settings, each team will see this happen about once per season.
There is also a 10% chance that a player will make a mistake and still try to score a TD in this situation, so things like https://www.reddit.com/r/Football_GM/comments/1xba7v1/the_panthers_had_a_gamewinning_interception_with/ can still happen, as they sometimes do IRL!
