Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott's act of spitting on the ground during a game against the Eagles seemingly provoked defensive tackle Jalen Carter, who retaliated by spitting on Prescott's shirt. While Prescott's action wasn't against the rules, it was interpreted as a deliberate attempt to antagonize Carter. The NFL is unlikely to fine Prescott for taunting, though a final decision will be made within a week. League rules regarding spitting and taunting remain unclear, leading to ongoing discussion.
