Is this a TD for A? Or does the momentum rule bring it back to B's 3 ydline?

Touchdown for A
See 8-2-1, 8-2-1b, and 8-5-2a EXCEPTION
While the covering official should have dropped his bean bag on the B3, the momentum exception no longer applies as the one of the requirements of
8-5-2a Exception was not met.
...where the ball is declared dead in his teams possession or it goes out of bounds in the endzone,...
Since in your case neither of these events happened the result is a touchdown for A.
I hope this helps...
