I don't think there is any chance they were lip-synching. I don't think a network would allow lip-synching at an event like the Superbowl. Lip-synching is rarely done any more. It is considered a big no-no.

The last person that was caught lip-synching was Ashlee Simpson on Saturday Night Live and she got blasted for it. I think she claimed she had a cold or laryngitis or something like that. That was her excuse. She got crucified in the media. Lip-snyching is not considered acceptable nowadays and it is totally frowned upon.

There is no way The Who was lip-synching. I would lay 20-1 odds against it.

By the way, if you watch the performance again on youtube it is perfect. The audio is perfectly in synch with the video.
I actually just found a review of The Who's half-time show in the Chicago Tribune. It specifically says they "weren't lip-synching".
