It would have been best to knock the ball down to the ground.

Decline the foul. YNG = TO. Keep your challenge, TO and put the offense on.
When is the last time you saw a DB knock a ball to the ground in this case? If they can pick it they will for nothing more than padding of stats for a bigger paycheck, even tho the team thing maybe to knock it down and save yourself 35 yards. Plus they also have the ego thing of "I can run it back for a TD" Why else would you see idiot plays plke Miami did where they picked it and lateraled 3 times only to fumble and lose the ball giving the Offense the ball back for a 1st and 10, 25 yards down field.
Ah yes, the NFL. Also known as the me me me league.

We've all seen d-linemen players celebrate after participating in a sack. They do a stupid dance like they're the best thing since sliced bread. They just wnat TV time. It should occur to them that it's their job to tackle somebody.

I don't have a favourite player, but should a DB knock a pass down because it's better for his team, then unfortunately I will concede that he's a favoured player of mine.

Can an actual NFL player respond to this?
