I don't buy into for myself and I don't think the NFL buys into it for themselves. I recall a few years back when Jerry Seeman ran the officiating and he used to be famous for making the comment about "Super Bowl calls". He wanted guys making calls in the regular season that they would make in the Super Bowl. I don't know if that philosophy has changed but I doubt it.
Just re-reading some old posts and when I heard JS speak at Glen Abbey earlier this year, he very much mentioned Super Bowl Calls. (We've changed to this philosophy to Grey Cup calls, though.)

What a great speaker. He often said, "that's what it is." He'd describe something, comment on it and then say, "that's what it is." I heard it so many times, he could have convinced me that pink is blue as long as he said "that's what it is" afterwards.
