Juke (football move)

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.[1] It can also be called sidestepping.

A typical juke involves a ball-carrier faking as if he will run one way, then planting his foot and running the opposite.[2][3] When this is done against the flow of play, it is called a cutback.
