that is not accurate
It happened before the defender jumped offsides. It was his hand that Steen was patting: Same as this event that happened in 2022. If the defender has any body part in the neutral zone, the Olineman can touch him for an offsides, as was called on Fowler here
The contact while in the neutral zone is what saved you. Yes, that is off-sides by the Lions player.
Had there been no contact, the Lions player would have had the right to get back to his side if the football has not been hiked yet.
