"Drop the ball" means die.
I first encountered the phrase in the book "The World According to Garp" by John Irving when Roberta (formerly the famous football player Robert someone) died of old age.
I believe that the term is applied to ball players such that I would say "Dallas Cowboys star Terrel Owens tried to drop the ball."

It means the ball you were carrying is now on the floor.
