It was definitely called prior to - if you watch the game on the Detroit feed they didn't cut to commercial as fast and you can hear them announce the penalties prior to them looking at the tablet and reviewing the call. The entire sequence was likely seen by the linesman who then informed one of the referees about what happened so they made the correct call.
