Watch the slow mo at :57 from the opposite angle. You can see when the snap occurred; I don’t think Skov had crossed yet.  Really hard to tell because he was on a full on sprint, but I think he was still onsides.

Running it back and forth, Skov is behind the line of scrimmage when the snap starts, but we’ll into the neutral zone when it ended (ball left the center’s hands).  I think the offsides definition requires the defender be in the neutral zone before the snap, which I take to mean before the snap starts.

I read it that the center started to snap the ball when Skov entered the neutral zone. They center is trained to do that to prevent the player who violated the neutral zone from getting back "on side" without touching an offensive player. That said, it is such a close play that a call or a no-call could in my mind be justified. Obviously, this one went our way. I will take it.
