This would be a very costly penalty for team A b/c this would more than likely occur on 4th down so it would be 15-yds from the PS and loss of down.
Now, the question is...would you call this?

You read that correctly. No player can bat a loose ball while in the EZ. It would be a tough call to make, but one you would have to make if you ruled the team-B receiver did touch the ball.
