But the bigger storyline was defensive lineman Jalen Carter being ejected for spitting at Dak Prescott only six seconds into the game. NBC cameras appeared to show Carter directing spit at the Cowboys quarterback right after the opening kickoff.

Carter was signed to fully guaranteed four-year contract for $21.8 million, which included a sweet signing bonus of just over $12.8 million. Broken down over the four years he's signed, Carter is set make a salary of $1.03 million in 2025, $1.145 million in 2026 and made $915,000 in 2024 and $750,000 in 2023, per SportRac.

Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter was ejected from the season opener against the Dallas Cowboys for spitting on quarterback Dak Prescott, an act that Irving police later clarified is considered a misdemeanor assault.
