This play has been discussed over and over again. Basically, there's a hole in the NF rules with regards to this play. However, in this year's case book, 10.5.2B Comment states: Any loose ball that occurs after a run ends in the end zone is ignored in determining the basic spot for penalty enforcement.
In the above play, if the loose ball is ignored, the basic spot is the 20 yard line because A forced the ball into the EZ and B gained possession in the EZ. Therefore, the enforcement spot is the 20, 1st & 10 from the 35.
