Or kick it out. It's not likely that team B would have players in position to block the kick, and the likeliest team A player to recover the ball would be the kicker. There's already been discussed here the case of a 2nd kick; in most circumstances, in view of the 1st down team A would get in the field of play, that would be a bad choice, but if the ball were recovered near the end line it might be a good one.
In certain situations, it would even be better to throw a forward pass that's sufficiently close to an eligible receiver to not be IG.
