Jalen Carter managed to produce arguably the single worst start to an NFL season of all-time.
The Philadelphia Eagles All-Pro defensive tackle was ejected from Thursday’s 2025 season opener against the Dallas Cowboys … before a single snap was even played. The Cowboys received possession first at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, and only six seconds had elapsed after the opening kickoff.
While about to line up for Dallas’ first possession, Carter got an early start on the hostilities and started chirping at Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott before the two teams were even set at the line of scrimmage. Inexplicably, Carter proceeded to then spit on Prescott.
A referee was right on top of the play and immediately threw a flag. Ultimately, the officials issued Carter an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty and ejected him from the game on the spot.
