NFL Delivers Harsh Discipline to Cowboys LT Tyler Guyton After Punch in Eagles Clash

The NFL wasted little time responding after Thursday night’s heated Eagles-Cowboys showdown. A second-quarter altercation involving rookie left tackle Tyler Guyton became the flashpoint, as cameras caught him delivering a direct punch to Eagles defensive end Ogbo Okoronkwo.

Officials on the field missed the infraction in real time, but replay footage quickly spread across social media. Within hours of the game ending, the league had launched a review into Guyton’s actions, drawing widespread debate from fans and analysts alike.

Commissioner Roger Goodell addressed the controversy in a Friday statement. “Jalen Carter will face discipline for his actions, but we must also review Dak Prescott’s conduct—without his provocation, the situation may never have escalated. Still, Guyton’s punch was of greater concern,” Goodell said.

The incident overshadowed an already chaotic opener, which also saw Carter ejected for spitting on Prescott and Eagles fullback Ben VanSumeren lost to a feared season-ending knee injury. Dallas, meanwhile, committed multiple personal fouls in a scrappy, penalty-filled first half.

By Friday afternoon, the league confirmed its ruling: Guyton has been suspended two games and fined $30,000 for unsportsmanlike conduct. The NFL stressed that deliberate and dangerous acts like this won’t be tolerated under any circumstances.

For the Cowboys, the timing is brutal. Guyton, a 2024 second-round pick, had just stepped into a starting role on the offensive line. His absence forces Dallas to reshuffle protection schemes ahead of back-to-back divisional matchups, adding pressure to an already thin unit.

The NFL also noted that further reviews are underway regarding Carter and Prescott, with potential additional fines still possible. For now, Dallas moves forward shorthanded, while the league hopes this ruling reinforces accountability and player safety in one of football’s fiercest rivalries.

Panthers Legend Furious, Calls for Team to Reclaim His Rights Because NFL is So Unfair!
Can you believe it? Cam Newton, the immortal icon of the Carolina Panthers, is absolutely raging! Overnight, the bombshell from Philip Rivers has pushed the 2015 MVP legend to speak out, accusing the NFL of playing "double standards" and urging his old team, the Panthers, to stand up and demand justice for him! Imagine this: Philip Rivers, the 44 year old veteran who's been retired for a full 5 years, suddenly signs a contract to return with the Indianapolis Colts after Daniel Jones' horrific injury (torn Achilles). This isn't Hollywood fiction, it's a shocking NFL reality! Rivers, once a "family member" of the Colts, is welcomed back like a hero, while Cam Newton, the guy who led the Panthers to Super Bowl 50 and still has a burning passion, is tossed aside like yesterday's trash. In the latest episode of his podcast 4th and 1 (released on 12/10/2025), Newton couldn't hold back anymore. He roared: "Did Philip Rivers send any signals that he's ready? I haven't and won't retire! For an opportunity like this! I don't care if he's 'family' to them. He's 44, bro! Why do you hold Cam Newton to sky high standards that you don't apply to everyone else?" Newton's words are like a punch straight to the NFL's face! He feels this is a "slap in the face" to his illustrious career, from being the No. 1 pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, to 2015 MVP, to being "discarded" after the 2021 season. Newton has never officially retired, and now he's calling on the Panthers, the team that was once his home, to take action! "Demand my rights back! The NFL is unfair, and Panthers fans deserve a legend's return!", That's the implicit message Newton is sending, shattering the hearts of millions of fans. Cam Says CALL HIM After Rivers Returns, Shedeur DISRESPECT Continues & Richard Sherman WRONGNew episode of 4th&1 out now!📺: https://t.co/hdru5DuZV7 pic.twitter.com/or8TykRhYd — 4th&1 with Cam Newton (@4thand1show) December 10, 2025 Remember? Newton returned to the Panthers in 2021 as a PR stunt, but the terrible head coach Matt Rhule ruined it all. Rhule blamed Newton, firing offensive coordinator Joe Brady right after Brady spent the entire bye week working with him. The result? Newton failed, and the NFL turned its back. Now, with Rivers being "resurrected" at 44, Newton sees the bias clearly: "Connections" and "family ties" are the key, not talent! Panthers fans are boiling over! They've idolized Newton from day one, and now this story is like a tragedy: Their hero forgotten, while "old man" Rivers gets a golden chance. Newton still has the passion, still wants to play, so why not give him a shot? Is this the moment the Panthers rise up and push the NFL to reconsider? Or will we see Newton explode even more on media?
