Differentiate between EVENTUALLY and ABOUT to Score
In YOUR scenario, A87 blocks below waist away from ball on a play that EVENTUALLY scores. At the time it is not known by covering official or players that a score is imminent. Therefore it is a live ball foul.
However, in the original scenario, a score is assured and obvious to all officials and players (where the ball carrier is going uncontested into the end zone), all defensive and offensive players are no longer actively participating in the play, and the foul occurs well behind the play.
If the foul is also flagrant enough, it can also warrant an ejection. However, wiping out a score in this scenario is unnecessary.
