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.

Eagles Star CB Faces Family Tragedy After Week 5 Game as Military-Trained Skydiving Instructor Dies in Nashville
Philadelphia Eagles defensive back Cooper DeJean is mourning a profound personal loss following the team’s Week 5 game , as his cousin Justin Fuller a respected military-trained skydiving instructor, died in a tragic tandem jump accident near Nashville.   Fuller, 35, was fatally injured after becoming separated from his parachute 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 its personnel for the effort. Justin Fuller, known by the nickname "Spidey," died after a tandem skydiving jump went wrong on Oct. 4, 2025, near Nashville, Tennessee.  (Facebook/Justin Fuller Spidey ) Fuller, known affectionately as “Spidey,” had completed more than 5,000 jumps and trained U.S. military personnel in advanced aerial maneuvers. Friends described him as “fearless, focused, and committed to lifting others higher — both in life and in the air.”   DeJean —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 Dejean that strength isn’t about being unbreakable — it’s about standing firm when life hits hardest. That’s exactly how he lives and plays today.” In the Eagles’ defensive system, DeJean has steadily earned complete trust thanks to his versatility — working outside at corner, in the slot (nickel), and on coverage units — and standing out for top-end speed, precise tackling angles, and the ability to read quarterbacks. Coaches describe him as “calm, wise beyond his years, and disciplined at the catch point,” consistently maintaining leverage and finishing clean in tight spaces. Through the first five games of 2025, DeJean has played every defensive snap and totaled 36 tackles (26 solo) with five passes defensed, reinforcing his value on the perimeter and inside.  The Philadelphia Eagles have provided time and private support for DeJean 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. An FAA investigation into the accident is underway, while tributes to “Spidey” continue to pour in across social media from military colleagues, fellow skydivers, and fans nationwide.“He taught others to fly — now he flies higher than all of us,” one tribute read. DeJean kept his public remarks brief before being embraced by teammates:“He taught 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.”
