I disagree with the last part, though a double foul would be a LOT easier!

Enforcement of the IHC will depend crucially on the call here.

If we rule fumble, then B's foul occurs during the down. The basic spot is the end of the run, repeat the down (though the penalty results in a 1st down in this case). A's options: decline the penalty (A 1/10 @ B25, clock on the ready) or accept the penalty (A 1/10 @ B17, clock on the ready).

If it's an IFP, B's IHC foul occurred after the ball became dead on the incomplete pass. So you'd have a live ball foul by A and a dead ball foul by B, and this is never a double foul (Fundamental IX.2). Enforce both.

And that's tricky too: the LTG is the B28, and after enforcement for the IFP the ball will be spotted at the B37. With loss of down, B will get the ball. Then enforce B's foul back to the B22, then set the chains. B's ball, 1/10 @ B22, clock starts on the snap.
