What if the ball went into the EZ, but did not go OOB or across the end line; it just stopped rolling and came to rest in the EZ.
Would it still be a TB, or a TD for A?

Touchdown! 8-2-1c says TD when "a backwards pass or fumble is declared dead in the endzone of the opponent of the player who threw the backward pass or fumbled while no player is in possession (other than because of an IW).
Now you tell me when the ball will be declared dead without anyone jumping on it. If the ball stops rolling, and a player is going towards it, I am not blowing it dead, and it would not be stopped long before someone is trying to jump on it.
