You could do that in American football as well, but it would be a very bad outcome.

It frequently works in rugby, provided the ball carrier is fast enough.

The only ways to move the ball forward are by carrying or kicking it (no passing forward). Once the carrier kicks the ball, he’s not allowed to be tackled. A player in possession of the ball who’s about to be tackled and has no open receiver, will punt the ball down field and try to run ahead and recover it. It’s a tactic generally employed by smaller, faster players - big guys will generally just take the hit.
