I'm old enough to remember, and the game you are thinking of was not the Oakland/Miami game of 1974, but a San Diego/Oakland regular season game in 1978 when the Raiders scored on a fumble pushed forward. And that play was on offense, not like this one.

I also recall seeing a similar play around that time- at least, a play when a blocked kick benefited the offense. It was in a Patriots/Colts game. Mike Patrick, the Patriots punter, had a punt blocked. The Colts player picked it up, dropped it, then tried to roll it to another Colt- but a Patriots player picked it up and ran for the first down. I believe they changed the rules about being able to that too.

That play against the Chargers is known as the "Holy Roller." Since the Raiders pushed the ball forward into the end zone before either Casper or Belitnekoff fell on it, they changed the rules.
