NFL Season Opener: Eagles' Jalen Carter Ejected for Spitting on Cowboys' Dak Prescott

Colin Cowherd has revealed his final NFL predictions for the upcoming season, naming the Cincinnati Bengals, New England Patriots, and Seattle Seahawks as clinching Wild Card spots.

The 2025 NFL season started with an unusual incident. Philadelphia Eagles' defensive tackle Jalen Carter was ejected from the game before the first offensive play for allegedly spitting on Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott.

Video footage showed Carter spitting at Prescott during a confrontation before walking away, leading to his ejection following an unsportsmanlike penalty.

Carter, aged 24, was drafted by the Eagles in 2023 and had a successful season last year, making the Pro Bowl. However, his absence in the game against the Cowboys will be felt as he is known for his defensive prowess.

In response, Prescott and the Cowboys capitalized on Carter's ejection, scoring a touchdown on their opening drive. The Eagles managed to score as well, but the impact of Carter's absence remains to be seen in their NFC East matchup.

The game between the Eagles and Cowboys was marked by tension, with a physical altercation resulting in penalties after the Eagles scored their first touchdown of the season.
