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.

they were lip synching. it was glaringly obvious because he hesitated on one word, which came through on audio, but you could most certainly see he didn't say it on the screen. it was at the end of one of the songsl ines it wasn't a case of being 'off'. he was on til that one word.
as to why they do it, it's so there are no glitches in the performance. we've all seen times where bands flub a song. the anthem is pre-recorded, and so is half time.
