The rule is that in the last 2 minutes of either half the upstairs ref in the only one that can call for a review. IOW, they blew it big time. then again, the refs on the field penalized the Cards the most in any superbowl ever(including 3 PF penalties on one drive in Q4 alone). Meanwhile, the Steelers James Harrison(the NFL defensive player of the year, also the same guy that scored the TD at the end of the first half) brutally works a player down on the ground and gets a PF penalty but in any other game or any other player he would have been thrown out. But the steelers needed him to stop the Cards so the refs let him stay in the game.

I am certainly not an expert on NFL rules. I don't follow it closely unless the Raiders or 49ers are in the mix. Which means I haven't followed it closely since the Earth was cooling. <G>
