IIRC they ruled recovery by B on the field and it was then recovered by A. Replay clearly showed the B player never had possession so A was incorrectly awarded a new series. It can happen but I agree it's rare.
Another example happened in San Diego where Ed Hochuli ruled that the QB threw a forward incomplete pass and blew it dead when replays clearly showed it was a fumble.

Next year, they make this a reviewable play.
