Fouls by A and B during the same DB Interval

It does not mention anything about DB fouls by A or DB fouls by both teams. I can't find any case book situation on it either, so I agree...

1st and 10 for A from A40.

Wait a minute...you take the rule book's silence re fouls in the dead ball interval by A to mean the new series is awarded after A's foul? What about the mention of one working to the exclusion of others?

I read what you quoted just the opposite. The dead ball foul by B occurs 1st, resulting in a new series, then the foul by A, resulting in 1st & 25 for A at A's 40.
