Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter was ejected from the season opener after spitting on Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. Carter believed Prescott had spat on him first, a misunderstanding stemming from Prescott spitting while talking to a teammate. Prescott denied spitting intentionally. Carter apologized, but the NFL may still impose further discipline, with potential suspension discussed by analysts. The incident occurred moments after kickoff, overshadowing the Eagles' 24-20 victory.
