I screwed this one up...(I think)

Don't get me wrong, if I know one foul is clearly after the other, we'll do it by the book. Every time.

Just curious ... A's ball on their own 20, 3rd and 10 after the play is over. Nearly simultaneous 15-yarders on A and B... under the above philosophy, which do you walk first? Either way gives one team an advantage.
