Philadelphia, PA – September 6, 2025
The Eagles-Cowboys rivalry just added another explosive chapter. A viral video circulating on social media appears to show Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott spitting at Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter first, moments before Carter was ejected in Thursday’s season opener.
The league initially punished Carter for unsportsmanlike conduct, ejecting him just seconds into the game after he spat back at Prescott. But the new footage has fans questioning whether the penalty told the full story—and whether Carter was unfairly singled out. (Video Below)
Clips of the confrontation quickly spread across X and Instagram, with Eagles fans pointing out the slowed-down angle that clearly shows Prescott leaning toward Carter before the altercation. Many are now demanding the NFL review the incident and reconsider discipline.
For Carter, the viral evidence brings a new layer of defense to his side of the story. “I took the blame because I reacted, but now everyone can see what really happened. I won’t let it define me—I’ll learn, stay locked in, and fight for this team,” Carter said.
The controversy adds another layer of intensity to an already heated NFC East rivalry. With the Eagles winning 24-20, the focus now shifts to whether the NFL will take further action against Prescott—or acknowledge that both players were at fault.
