I have never personally awarded a score however I know of a situation where it happened.
On a third and short situation quarterback A1 throws a pass to uncovered A5 near the opponents sideline. A5 breaks one and when he crosses the B40 yard line the nearest B player is 15 yards behind him and that B player is losing ground. Non-player B12 comes off the sidline and tackles A5. The officials gather a determine that if it had not been for the action by B12, A5 would have scored the touchdown.
Ruling - Touchdown for A
While it is rare, it can and has happened!
