Cowboys Star REFUSES Apology After Spit Incident — Eagles vs. Cowboys Is a Ticking Time Bomb!
Eagles vs. Cowboys: Tension Explodes After Carter’s Spit — Prescott Rejects Apology
A fiery incident rocked the season opener between the Eagles and Cowboys: defensive tackle Jalen Carter was ejected just 6 seconds into the game for spitting on Dak Prescott — and Prescott outright rejected his apology afterward.
The Incident Ignites Before the Game Even Starts
Right after the opening kickoff, Carter and Prescott clashed in a heated exchange. According to Prescott, Carter spit toward him — though Prescott says he aimed downward, trying not to hit anyone. Carter, however, claimed Prescott was intentionally provoking him. When Carter asked, “Are you trying to spit on me?” Prescott insisted he had no reason to do so, prompting Carter to spit directly at him.

Immediate Consequences — Ejected in the First Minute
The officials quickly penalized Carter for “unsportsmanlike conduct” — spitting deemed a “non-football act,” sufficient for immediate ejection. The crowd erupted as Carter slowly walked off the field, helmet in hand.
Apology Rejected
After the game, Carter issued an apology: “That was my mistake. It won’t happen again. I regret what happened for my teammates, the fans, and their families.” Prescott, however, remained firm, making it clear he would not accept the apology lightly: “I never had a reason to spit on anyone, and I certainly wasn’t aiming at him,” he said.
Potential for Further Discipline
This incident could result in more severe punishment for Carter. Sources indicate the NFL is reviewing additional disciplinary measures beyond fines. Referee Shawn Smith described Carter’s behavior as “ejectable” and “not in line with the spirit of the game.”
A Ticking Time Bomb for the Rematch
This conflict is being called a potential “ticking time bomb” for the next Eagles vs. Cowboys clash. Pre-game tensions, personal pride, and looming disciplinary consequences could all play a major role in how the rematch unfolds.
