He CAN deline the distance penalty. Except that would leave the ball 1st & 10 at the previous spot. A's 40...... Dumb ***!

How would the spot be at A's 40 when the pass was caught? Wouldn't it be 1st and 10 from the B 35 with the catch and declining of the distance of the penalty?

No. If he accepts the penalty but declines the yardage, the play is erased.

The penalty for DPI is 15 yards from the previous spot (loose ball play) and an automatic 1st down. If A declines the distance portion, it's then ZERO yards from the previous spot and an automatic 1st down.
