So far, nobody has put the ball on B's 12-1/2 yd. line, which is where it would need to go. Just for argument's sake, without having seen the play, I find it difficult to rule an "incidental" facemask when the QB is tackled by the head as stated in original play b).
My opinion.

correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't really think that a facemask penalty is an option here. The ball is dead, if it is penalized it is a dead ball personal foul correct? There really is no 5 yard option is there, aside from the original encroachment??
