Pay close attention to the fact that the ball had come to rest. Essentially the block part of the play is over (at least that's how I understand it). If the original block had put the ball into and out of the end zone, then you would have a safety.

In play B, if Team B hadn't muffed the ball, it wouldn't have gone into the end zone. So it wasn't the kick that put the ball into the endzone. It was the muff of a grounded kick by B.
