So, it was the proper call by NFL rule, right?
The call was OPI, not ineligible downfield. Look at the Super Bowl website for a play by play description. Number #83 is Heath Miller the Steelers Tight End. I do not know the NFL rule word for word. I do believe that you cannot block before the pass is completed.

Super Bowl Play by Play

Peace
