Actually it happens occasionally. I remember Maurice Jones-Drew did it a couple years ago. Fell down at the one instead of scoring to run out the clock...but then I think the Jags were up at the time.

It's risky, but hey, it's the NFL and 1:37 in the NFL playoffs is waaay more time than you want to give any team. I remember when Alex Smith ran that QB run to the left for the TD I was thinking "Thank God he scored instead of just falling at the 2". We lose right there if he had done that. But then again they were up like the MJD situation. And the Saints two-minute offense is a lot more dangerous than the 49ers and you don't expect Greg Williams to run all out blitzes at that point either so whatever.

the only reason he did this was because the Jags were winning by a few scores and he didn't want to run the score up... jax was just trying to run the clock out and he broke a long run IIRC
