Cowboys Rookie Admits Brutal Punch On Eagles Star Was Baseless Payback For Dak Prescott — Now Faces NFL Suspension

September 5, 2025

The Dallas Cowboys–Philadelphia Eagles rivalry has never lacked drama, but Week 1 of the 2025 season has already written its own scandalous chapter.

The spotlight fell on rookie offensive tackle Tyler Guyton, Dallas’ prized first-rounder, after cameras caught him throwing a brutal punch at Eagles edge rusher Jalyx Hunt during a post-whistle skirmish. Officials wasted no time ejecting Guyton, and now the league is expected to suspend him. But the rookie’s own words have taken the controversy to another level.

According to multiple locker-room sources, Guyton admitted that the punch wasn’t about the play, the scheme, or even protecting Prescott on the field. It was payback — pure and simple.

“Dak is our captain, our leader. When Jalen Carter spit on him, it crossed a line,” Guyton reportedly told teammates. “I wasn’t thinking about strategy, I wasn’t thinking about downs or yards. I was thinking about pride. I wanted to send a message — you don’t disrespect our quarterback and think you’ll get away with it. That punch was for him. That punch was for this team’s honor.”

The raw admission reframes the incident. Instead of being seen as a hot-headed mistake in the trenches, Guyton’s blow now looks like an emotional act of vengeance — one that could cost him dearly as the NFL considers fines and suspensions.

Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy tried to downplay the chaos but couldn’t ignore the reality: “We teach toughness, not recklessness. Tyler knows he stepped over the line. The league will handle its side, and we’ll handle ours.”

For Eagles fans, the punch only adds insult to injury. Jalyx Hunt, a young defender already earning his stripes in midnight green, became collateral damage in a feud that had nothing to do with him. The Philadelphia sideline erupted in fury, and the rivalry — already one of the NFL’s fiercest — has grown even more personal.

The NFL is expected to hand down discipline in the coming days, with Guyton facing a likely suspension. For Cowboys Nation, the incident shows a rookie willing to bleed for his leader. For Eagles Nation, it’s just another example of Dallas crossing the line.

Either way, when these two teams meet again later this season, the punches — verbal and physical — are far from over.

Ravens Fan-Favourite CB Faces Family Tragedy After Week 5 Game as Military-Trained Skydiving Instructor Dies in Nashville
Baltimore, MD – October 8, 2025Baltimore Ravens second-year cornerback Nate Wiggins is mourning a profound personal loss following the team’s Week 5 matchup, as his cousin, Justin “Spidey” Fuller — a respected military-trained skydiving instructor — died in a tragic tandem jump accident outside Nashville. Fuller, 35, was fatally injured after becoming separated from his harness mid-air during a jump organized by Go Skydive Nashville. His student survived after landing in a tree with the parachute deployed and was later rescued by firefighters. Police confirmed Fuller’s body was recovered in a wooded area off Ashland City Highway. The Nashville Fire Department called it “one of the most complex high-angle rescues in recent years,” commending personnel for their efforts. Known by the nickname “Spidey,” Fuller died after a tandem skydive went wrong on October 4, 2025, near Nashville, Tennessee. (Facebook/Justin Fuller Spidey) Beloved in the skydiving community, Spidey had completed more than 5,000 jumps and helped train U.S. service members in advanced aerial maneuvers. Friends described him as “fearless, focused and devoted to lifting others higher — in life and in the air.” Wiggins — whose mother is the younger sister of Fuller’s mother, grew up admiring his cousin’s discipline and sense of purpose. Family members say that influence helped shape his mental toughness and leadership on the field. A relative told local media, “Justin taught Nate that strength isn’t about being unbreakable — it’s about standing firm when life hits hardest. That’s exactly how Nate lives and plays today.” Wiggins, a former first-round pick from Clemson, has steadily earned the Ravens’ trust as a rotational cornerback in nickel/dime packages, praised for his speed, press technique, and ability to carry deep routes. Coaches describe him as “wise beyond his years,” calm under pressure, and disciplined at the catch point. Through the first five games of 2025, he has 12 solo tackles, 4 passes defensed, and 1 interception, reinforcing his value on the perimeter.  The Ravens organization has provided time and private support for Wiggins and his family, ensuring he can grieve without team-related obligations. Teammates have stood beside him, honoring both his resilience and his family’s tradition of service. The FAA is investigating the incident, while tributes to “Spidey” continue to pour in on social media from military colleagues, fellow skydivers, and fans across the country.“He taught others to fly — now he flies higher than all of us,” one tribute read. Wiggins kept his public comments brief, speaking softly before being embraced by teammates:“Spidey always told me not to fear the height — only the moment you forget to look down and pull someone else up with you. This week, I’m playing for him.”
