Here's where the officials goofed. They measured half the distance to the goal and gave team A another shot! (FG was missed again).
Shouldn't this be enforced on the next possession and team B starts out 1st and goal at the 25?

With the caveat that some States have ammended the OT procedure to fit their particular needs, it does seem the enforcement was in error.
When the FG attempt was unsuccesful, 4th down for A ended and any subsequent penalty would be a dead ball foul, which calls for enforcement from the succeeding spot, which would be the spot where B would begin their OT series from.
