Not just in challenge/replay situations.
NFL announces 'limited adjustment' to postseason officiating
Supposedly, there are some limitations on his role. And given the speed of the game, I believe as a practical matter that in most (not necessarily all) cases they will adhere to those limitations. But still ... blech.

For the 2015 Postseason, consultation may occur between the Referee and the VP of Officiating or his designee located in the league's officiating headquarters in New York regarding the correct application of playing rules. In addition to the VP of Officiating's current role in Instant Replay, this consultation will only include the appropriate assessment of penalty yardage, the proper administration of the game clock, the correct down, or any other administrative matter not currently reviewable.
This will not include the ability to call or judge a foul, or otherwise become involved in on-field judgment calls that are not subject to the current Instant Replay system.
