What is a declined penalty in football?
Declining a penalty is when the team not receiving the penalty turns down the penalty on the other team. Penalties usually result in a loss or gain of yards and a replay of the down.ExampleIf the offense runs a play on third down and ends up four yards short of a first down but commits an offensive penalty the defense would most likely want to decline that penalty so that the third down play stands. If they were to accept the penalty the offense would get another shot and making the third down yardage even though it would be 9 yards to go (5 yard penalty) or 14 yards to go (10 yard penalty). Even though the penalty would back up the offense why give them another shot at completing third down yardage. Declining the penalty makes it fourth down with four yards to go and they most likely punt.

Excusing of an offense without penalty?
Since you posted this in the "Football Rules and Regulations" category, I assume you refer to a team's option of "declining" a penalty on the opposing team. Most penalties result in a loss of yardage and then the down is replayed. In some circumstances, a team would rather take the result of the play and count the down rather than assess the penalty against the opposing team and replay the down.
