Look at 4:08 and 4:26 and youll see some others get up after being tackled.On the people that dont get up,youll notice they cant,people either pile on or hold them down till ref calls them down.Ive googled it and I cannot find when the rules were changed

History of NFL Rules
1955-A rule change declared the ball dead immediately if the ball carrier touched the ground with any part of his body except his hands or feet while in the grasp of an opponent.
Apparently before that you had to be down for like three seconds
