I don't think it was OPI, but an inelegible downfield. Regardless, it struck me as odd coming from NFHS.
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.

You are correct Rut, it is OPI in the NFL if a receiver blocks downfield before the pass is touched by an eligible receiver.
