Dak Prescott Spit First Before Jalen Carter in Major Revelation as Cowboys QB Clarifies His Stance

They call it opening night for a reason, but no one expected the Eagles–Cowboys rivalry to start with… bodily fluids. Just six seconds into the season, Jalen Carter was ejected before even playing a snap, flagged for spitting at Dak Prescott in a moment that left Lincoln Financial Field stunned and social media erupting. The question now is: what pushed Carter to do it?

Sources say Prescott casually spit near the Eagles’ defensive huddle, but Carter took it as a personal shot. When Dak tried to explain, Carter fired back. The misread gesture led to an instant ejection and sparked “Spitgate” memes before halftime.

Some more context on the Jalen Carter spitgate:

According to two people with knowledge of the ordeal, Dak Prescott spit on the ground in the general vicinity of the Eagles defensive huddle. Carter thought it was hostile. While Prescott was explaining it wasn’t, Carter spit back.
