Some plays are not reviewable. This one was or it wasn't and they spent ten minutes reviewing it anyways
In the video I posted the Ref admits it was a fumble. If a single Dolphin would have recovered the ball they would have given Miami the possession. If the Steelers had recovered the ball it would have been a touchdown.
According to the Refs explanation, they couldn't determine who recovered the fumble so the Steelers retained possession. I didn't see any indication that the play was called dead at the whistle and the play was not reviewable.
