Jalen Carter, Dak Prescott Give Their Sides of “Spitgate” After Former UGA Star Ejected
Jalen Carter was ejected early for spitting back at Dak Prescott after Prescott spat near the Eagles' huddle, impacting Philadelphia's defensive line depth in the season opener.
- On Thursday, NBC replays showed Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott appearing to spit in the general direction of Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter during the first quarter at Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia.
- While trainers tended to Philadelphia Eagles fullback Ben VanSumeren's knee injury, Prescott acknowledged spitting frequently on game days and Carter described his actions as a response to what he found hostile near the Dallas huddle.
- Officials flagged Jalen Carter after he spat back at Dak Prescott, resulting in a personal foul and immediate ejection; referee Shawn Smith said, `It's a disqualifiable foul in the game`.
- Because the NFL is stressing sportsmanship this season, Carter faces a fine or possible suspension for spitting, while the league has not announced discipline for Prescott.
- Later this year, Dallas faces Philadelphia again on November 23 at AT&T Stadium, following the Eagles' 24-20 opener win despite Prescott not pushing for Carter's removal and leaving discipline to the league.
