A is going for 2 point try. A fumbles the ball which comes to almost complete rest on the 3-yard line. B in an attempt to secure the ball adds a new force which causes the ball to go through B's end zone and over the end line. By B forcing the ball into it's own end zone and it becoming dead there it is scored as a safety for A. In this case 1 point. The thing to remember is that on a 2 point try the play is not dead until there is a score, the ball becomes dead or B comes into possession of the ball. In the above scenario B never possessed the ball hence it was still a live ball when B put it into their own end zone.
