A juke is a move in most forms of American football used to evade a tackler by deception, and thus without need of a stiff arm. A typical juke involves a ball-carrier faking as if he will run one way, then planting his foot and running the opposite. It can also be called sidestepping.
One variation on the common juke is a spin move.
SPORTS
Game play in American football consists of a series of downs, individual plays of short duration, outside of which the ball is dead or not in play. These can be plays from scrimmage – passes, runs, punts, or field goal attempts (from either a place kick or a drop kick) – or free kicks such as kickoffs and fair catch kicks. Substitutions can be made between downs, which allows for a great deal of specialization as coaches choose the players best suited for each particular situation. During a play, each team should have no more than 11 players on the field, and each of them has specific tasks assigned for that specific play.
