Dak Prescott Ridicules Eagles After NFL Hands Down One-Game Equivalent Punishment to Jalen Carter After Spitting Incident

September 10, 2025

The NFL has officially announced its disciplinary action for Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter following the Week 1 incident in which he spit on Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. Instead of a suspension, Carter was fined the equivalent of one game check — $57,222.

The decision immediately sparked controversy, and no one responded more sharply than Prescott himself. Speaking to reporters, the Cowboys quarterback mocked the ruling: “One game check? So the Eagles can just write a check and buy their way to a championship? If that’s fairness, I guess I better carry a towel every time we play them.”

An NFL spokesperson said the penalty “reflects the league’s stance on protecting sportsmanship and integrity.” But for the Cowboys, the message felt different: Carter avoided missing time and will be available for Philadelphia in Week 2.

Clips of the incident went viral on social media, fueling outrage. Cowboys fans echoed Prescott’s frustration, with many arguing that if the roles were reversed — if a Dallas player spit on a star quarterback — the punishment would have been a suspension, not just a fine.

Asked again if he thought the league’s handling was fair, Prescott doubled down with sarcasm: “If that’s what they call discipline, then I call it permission. They’ve basically handed the Eagles a free pass to keep crossing the line.”

For Cowboys Nation, this isn’t just about one game. It’s about a long-standing belief that Philadelphia gets leniency while Dallas is judged more harshly. Prescott has given voice to that frustration, turning outrage into biting mockery — and fans are standing right behind him.

The NFL may have hoped a fine would end the controversy. But for Prescott and the Cowboys, this story won’t be forgotten — especially when the Eagles and Cowboys meet again. And next time, Prescott might not need words. His play on the field could do all the talking.

Ravens Update Quarterback Depth Amid Controversies - Re-signed Pro Bowl Star to QB2
Baltimore, MD – October 7, 2025 Following Cooper Rush's disappointing performance in the humiliating 10-44 loss to the Houston Texans on Saturday (October 6), the Baltimore Ravens are facing intense debates about their quarterback room depth. With Lamar Jackson still nursing a hamstring injury and potentially missing the upcoming game against the Los Angeles Rams (scheduled for Week 6), the big question arises: Should Tyler Huntley – the former Ravens Pro Bowl star – get the starting nod over Rush? Huntley, 27 years old, was re-signed by the Ravens to the practice squad at the end of August 2025 and quickly elevated to QB2 for Week 5. He served as the Ravens' backup QB from 2020-2024, leading the team to the playoffs in 2022 and earning a Pro Bowl replacement spot thanks to his impressive performances filling in for Jackson. With experience in 9 starts (3-6 record), Huntley brings familiarity to the Ravens' offensive system, particularly his mobility and game-reading skills – something Rush seemed to lack in the Texans loss, where he completed only 18/34 passes with 1 TD and 2 INTs, resulting in the offense scoring just 10 points. The controversy exploded on social media, with the hashtag #RavensFlock divided. Many fans support Huntley: "Rush has proven he's not the solution. Huntley knows the system, knows how to win games – put him in!" (from account @RavensFanatic on X). Meanwhile, others defend Rush, arguing he needs time to adapt after transferring from the Dallas Cowboys: "Rush just started his first game for us. Don't rush to conclusions – he has playoff experience!" However, Rush's performance (only 189 passing yards, no big plays) has raised concerns about the depth chart, especially with Jackson possibly out for another 1-2 weeks. Head coach John Harbaugh hasn't commented directly, but in the post-Texans press conference, he hinted at a reevaluation: "We have multiple quality options at QB. Tyler is ready, and we'll choose the one best suited to win." ESPN insiders report that Huntley has been practicing fully and performing well, potentially being promoted to official QB2 if Jackson misses the Rams game – a crucial matchup for the Ravens (currently 1-4) to salvage their season. Signing Huntley – a Pro Bowl star – is seen as a smart move amid the controversies, boosting the Ravens' depth and flexibility. If Huntley gets "the nod" to start, it could be his chance to prove his value, just like his previous fill-ins for Jackson. Ravens fans are awaiting the decision – will "Snoop" (Huntley's nickname) return to save the team? Follow updates from baltimoreravens.com for more details. #RavensFlock #QBControversy
