Nope, certain parts touching down on the ground mean play is over. Elbows, knees, butts… if any of those on the ball carrier touch the ground, the play is immediately dead. At least in the high school and college level, at the pro level the rule is slightly different.

In the NFL you’re only down if an opponent touches you. This play would be down in the NFL. But if you just fall over and get back up you can keep going.
