Expected.

The World War II generation did what was expected of them. But they never talked about it. It was part of the Code. There’s no more telling metaphor than a guy in a football game who does what’s expected of him–makes an open-field tackle–then gets up and dances around. 

When Jerry Kramer threw the block that won the Ice Bowl in ’67, he just got up and walked off the field.
