How would I "tackle" an opponent, like in American football, using Pathfinder rules?
Closest thing is probably a grapple.

Charge ending with an unarmed trip attempt. If you fail you go prone, sounds close.
Barbarian with Savage Grapple. Charge -> Grapple -> Choose to make opponent prone.
It's a combination of bullrush, grapple, and trip but none of them can really do it on it's own.
If you have greater grapple and rapid grapple it's pretty close with grapple alone as you can grab a hold of them, stop them from moving (where they want) and move them around as you choose. Only thing that doesn't happen is causing them to go prone.

Closest thing I can think of is Flying Tackle from Dirty Tactics Toolbox.
Flying Tackle
You quickly bring down an off-balanced opponent.
Prerequisite: Improved Overrun.
Benefit: When attempting an overrun combat maneuver check against a flat-footed opponent, if the attempt knocks the creature prone, you can also fall prone in order to attempt a grapple combat maneuver check against the creature as a free action. Doing so does not provoke an attack of opportunity from the target of your grapple.

That would be a great feat if it didn't require them to be flat-footed.
