Certainly not! I don't do football so I honestly didn't know if the official made a mistake or not. I came here to find out. Is this "mis-step" something that might result in a downgrade?

He might have, but that mistake had nothing to do with the play continuing or being dead. I would not even be totally surprised if the officials gets a downgrade for that play because of his movement. Part of the evaluation process is on plays has to do with mechanics and positioning. If the whistle was not blown, the play continues it is that simple.
