The NFL season immediately descended into chaos after Eagles' defensive superstar Jalen Carter was ejected for spitting on Dak Prescott inside the first six seconds.
Carter, the best player on the Super Bowl champions' defense, approached the Cowboys QB before the first snap of the game and appeared to spit in his direction.
The ref immediately decided to eject the player, announcing the news to the stadium and leaving millions of fans stunned as they watched the 2025 season opener.
The incident took place as Eagles trainers were tending to fullback Ben VanSumeren, who was injured on the game's opening kickoff and ultimately needed to be carted off the field with a knee injury.
Taking to X, Stephen A. Smith summed up most fans' thoughts by posting: 'WTH did I just see? Jalen Carter — the Best Players on the @Eagles defense — just got thrown out the game before a freakin snap for SPITTING….SPITTING on @dak.
'To hell with just an ejection. Suspend that man. How in the HELL could you do something like that? Inexcusable! Stupid! Selfish! #Damn!'
