The famous "Holy Roller" play from 1977 apparently required the NFL to
change the rules:

"But nothing could prepare Casper for the "Holy Roller," one of the
most bizarre plays in NFL history.

With the Raiders trailing San Diego by six points with 10 seconds to
go, Stabler fumbled the ball. It rolled forward 13 yards to the
Chargers' 11-yard line, where Pete Banaszak batted it toward the goal
line.

Casper kicked the ball from the 5 into the end zone and fell on it for
a touchdown that gave the Raiders a 21-20 win.

The NFL later changed its rules, prohibiting the offense from
advancing a ball fumbled across the line of scrimmage on a fourth
down."
