double foul, pass play

A's ball 1st and 10 on A's 40. A snaps the ball with an illegal formation, only 6 on the line. A 12 throws a legal forward pass towards A88, who is eligible. B22 sees that he is beaten miserably and runs towards A88 trying to catch up. The ball is underthrown a little and B22 grabs A88 and pulls him down to the ground prior to the ball arriving. The covering official rules this to be intentional pass interference.

Question is, how do we enforce this? Is it just simply a double foul? Or do we still get to enforce the unsportsmanlike portion of the defensive foul as a deadball foul? I'm thinking that the "intentional" part of this can be enforced as a deadball foul. Someone let me know if this is right or wrong.
