The OP listed examples, and if that's not good enough there was old dude from the Lions in the 70s. The NFL wanted that game finished, and they're fully in CYA mode (per usual).
Any need to apply the rules agreed upon by the competition committee before the change would stem from an unprecedented situation. Of course it's unprecedented, that's why they had the rule in the first place. Rules should only be changed in the offseason. This is league protocol.
