VIDEO: Cowboys Fans Attack Eagles Supporter After Jalen Carter Spitgate

Arlington, TX — September 7, 2025

What should have been a weekend of celebration for the Dallas Cowboys’ rivalry win over the Philadelphia Eagles has now been overshadowed by disturbing footage. A viral video surfaced late Saturday night showing a confrontation outside AT&T Stadium, in which several Cowboys fans appeared to attack an Eagles supporter.

The clip, which spread rapidly across social media under the hashtag #JusticeForEaglesFan, shows an Eagles fan in midnight green surrounded and struck multiple times before stadium security intervened. Witnesses claimed the attackers shouted about “Spitgate” — the now infamous incident involving Jalen Carter’s ejection for spitting in the direction of Dak Prescott.

The fan reportedly suffered an eye injury but was treated on-site and later transported to a local hospital, where doctors confirmed his condition was stable.

In the hours after the footage went viral, Cowboys Nation quickly reacted — not to excuse the violence, but to confront it head-on. Many longtime Dallas supporters expressed anger and disappointment, calling the actions “embarrassing” and demanding accountability from those involved.

One fan on social media wrote:
“This isn’t what being a Cowboy is about. We rep the Star with pride, not with cheap shots after the game.”

Another echoed the sentiment:
“Rivalry should be about the field, not fists in the parking lot. Whoever did this doesn’t represent us.”

Several Cowboys fan groups online even pledged to help authorities identify the individuals in the video to ensure they face consequences.

The Cowboys–Eagles rivalry has always carried fire and intensity, but incidents like this blur the line between passion and criminal behavior. While some Eagles fans pointed the finger at Dallas as a whole, the broader Cowboys community has been quick to clarify: those responsible do not speak for the millions who support the team with respect.

Team officials have not yet issued a statement, but stadium representatives confirmed they are cooperating with police and reviewing surveillance footage. Authorities in Arlington are also using viral clips to identify those involved.

As the NFL continues to grapple with fallout from Spitgate, the Cowboys fan base is sending a message: violence in the stands or outside the stadium has no place in football.

For a rivalry defined by decades of historic clashes on the field, Cowboys Nation insists the fight should stay where it belongs — between the hashmarks, not in the parking lot.

Former Cowboys QB Charged for Attacking Truck Driver Who ‘Thought He Was Going to Be Killed’
Former NFL star Mark Sanchez has been charged with three misdemeanors in relation to the incident in which he was stabbed and taken to hospital in Indianapolis.  Sanchez, a nine-year NFL quarterback-turned-Fox TV analyst, was rushed to hospital with critical injuries after being stabbed in a dispute with a food delivery truck driver in the early hours of Saturday morning. However, in a shocking turn of events, the 38-year-old was arrested in his hospital bed by Indianapolis police.  Sanchez has now been charged with battery with injury, public intoxication and unlawful entry of a vehicle, the Marion County Prosecutor's Office announced Sunday morning.    An initial hearing has been scheduled for 8:30am ET with bond set for $300. 'This incident should never have happened,' Marion County prosecutor Ryan Mears said in a statement issued Sunday. 'What began as a disagreement between a 38-year-old former professional athlete and a 69-year-old man should not have escalated into violence or left anyone seriously injured. As with any case, we will follow the facts and the law wherever they lead.'   Former NFL star Mark Sanchez has been charged with three misdemeanors    He was reportedly stabbed in the chest during a dispute with a food delivery driver at Loughmiller's Pub & Eatery in downtown Indianapolis (pictured)   Sanchez allegedly accosted the truck driver, who believed he was in danger, at a loading dock, according to ESPN.  As the confrontation escalated, the truck driver, out of fear, is said to have sprayed Sanchez in the face with pepper spray.  Sanchez reportedly continued to advance towards the driver, who thought the former quarterback was 'trying to kill me' and pulled a knife and struck him 'two or three times.'  The truck driver said he was then thrown against a dumpster, leaving him to believe he was in a 'life-or-death situation,' before a 'look of shock' came over Sanchez's face and he took off.    Sanchez reportedly told a police officer that 'all he could remember was grabbing for a window.' He added that he didn't know who stabbed him or where the incident occurred.   He is said to have sustained multiple stab wounds to his right torso. The driver also suffered a laceration on his left cheek and was taken to a different hospital than Sanchez for treatment.  Fox Sports presenter Charissa Thompson addressed the incident during the network's NFL Kickoff program on Sunday but did not acknowledge the charges filed against her colleague.  'Friday night in Indianapolis, one of our team members, Mark Sanchez, was involved in an incident that we are still trying to wrap our heads around,' the sportscaster said.      Sanchez, who is married to actress Perry Mattfield, is now recovering in a stable condition 'At this time, our thoughts and prayers are with Mark, his family, and all of those involved.'   Sanchez had traveled the Midwest city to call Sunday's Colts-Raiders game for Fox Sports but will now not perform his broadcasting duties. According to Front Office Sports , Sanchez will be replaced in the booth by another ex-quarterback, former Notre Dame star Brady Quinn. Quinn's play-by-play partner for the game will be Chris Myers.   Fox Sports PR said Saturday in a statement: 'Mark Sanchez was injured in Indianapolis on Saturday and is currently recovering in the hospital in stable condition. We are deeply grateful to the medical team for their exceptional care and support.   'Our thoughts and prayers are with Mark, and we ask that everyone please respect his and his family's privacy during this time. Indianapolis police said on Saturday that they were investigating an altercation between two men that took place at around 12:30am.    In response to the events, Chief Chris Bailey of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department said: 'Proud of our IMPD officers and detectives who stayed focused on our mission and not the noise.   'Their professionalism represents the best of our department. IMPD will continue to be a steady, reliable presence in our city because our community deserves nothing less.'   The former New York Jets star was set to call the Colts-Raiders game on Sunday for Fox Sports     Mark and his wife Perry have twins together, while he also has an eight-year-old son, Daniel (center), from a previous relationship  Sanchez is married to American actress Perry Mattfeld, and the couple have two children together after Perry gave birth to twins in March. Sanchez also has an eight-year-old son, Daniel, from one of his previous relationships.   The former quarterback played 10 seasons in the NFL, including four with the Jets after they selected him with the fifth overall pick in 2009. He later spent time with the Philadelphia Eagles, the Dallas Cowboys, the then-Washington Redskins and the Chicago Bears as a backup.
