SAFETY: score two points for B

Daad ball at the spot (4 yard line) where A regained possession

Canadian Ruling:
B's intercepting the pass has broken the continuity of downs. A recovery the fumble is just that - a fumble recovery.
If the official deems that the player's momentum carried him into the EZ, then the fumble recovery is deemed to have occured in the EZ, and (new rule this year), award team A 1D/10 @ A-20.
If the official deemed that the player's momentum did not carry him into the EZ, then score a safety touch to team B.
