Jalen Carter’s first game of the Eagles’ new season was over before the first defensive snap.
With Philadelphia trainers addressing an injury after the opening kickoff, Carter, the star defensive lineman, walked up to Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott and appeared to spit on his chest.
Carter received an unsportsmanlike penalty and was ejected just six seconds into the game, with Eagles chief security officer Dom “Big Dom” DiSandro escorting him off the field as the NBC broadcast reacted in shock at how the first game of the NFL season began.

The interesting thing to me is why didn’t the refs get him on the right side of the ball. I mean I know it was a possession time out with waterboys and such on the field, not a real huddle. But really, he shouldn’t have been on that side of the ball jawing at Dallas in the first place, and the refs should have given him the “dude, get on your side” talk.
Cause as a professional athlete you only get so much time to make the money. Being in commercials is a secondary income for pretty much anybody that is recognizable.
5 YEAR SUSPENSION & 2 MILLION FINE WOULD BE ALRIGHT WITH ME
THEY BOTH ARE BLACK
Dak’s spit was more personally directed towards Carter, right in front of him, didn’t come close to hitting him and Carter retaliated stupidly, more offensively.
He basically served a 1 game suspension already which cost him around $57k. Maybe throw another $25k on top of that and call it a day.
Well, he was visibly drunk
Jalen started it by mouthing off. Both teams were in the huddle and he stayed on the Cowboys’ side. Dakota moved towards him and mouthed back then just spat a little on the ground. Guess Dak was “disrespecting”.
Jalen went out of his way to spit in Dak. Never went to the huddle. The Eagles defensive captain should have stepped in.
Dang. I hit preview twice and read it. Didn’t see the autocorrect.
