Philadelphia, PA – September 9, 2025
The drama from Week 1 between the Eagles and Cowboys refuses to cool down. After footage went viral showing Jalen Carter spitting toward Dak Prescott, the Cowboys quarterback quickly defended himself, claiming the entire situation was misunderstood. Prescott told reporters that he “probably spits 1,000 times throughout the game” and insisted he wasn’t aiming at Carter.
But Carter isn’t buying it. The Eagles defensive tackle shot back at Prescott’s remarks, calling them nothing more than fabricated excuses designed to protect the quarterback’s image. Carter made it clear he has no interest in letting Prescott spin the story his way, especially after the incident led to his own ejection and heavy criticism.
“This isn’t about excuses,” Carter told reporters. “Dak knows exactly what happened out there. His words are made up, and I’m not going to let him cover it up. If he wants to say something, he should say it to me directly on the field.”
Then, in a moment that instantly set social media on fire, Carter delivered a chilling 7-word warning to Prescott: “Don’t lie, face me on the field.”
The short but cutting statement has already ignited a storm of reactions across the NFL world. Eagles fans praised Carter’s fiery response, while Cowboys supporters doubled down defending their quarterback. What was once just an ugly in-game altercation has now evolved into a full-blown rivalry narrative, adding even more fuel to one of football’s fiercest battles.
With both teams already circling their next meeting on the calendar, the Carter-Prescott saga may have only just begun. One thing’s for sure: the NFL spotlight won’t be leaving this story anytime soon.
