The upcoming Sunday game between the Cowboys and Eagles carries echoes of their Week 1 encounter, particularly the incident involving Jalen Carter and Dak Prescott. Before the first snap of their initial meeting, Carter, a defensive tackle, spat on Cowboys quarterback Prescott, resulting in his ejection and a subsequent $57,222 fine from the NFL.

When asked about facing Prescott once more, Carter indicated a desire to shift focus away from the past event. He stated the team is looking ahead to the present game and everyone playing, aiming to leave the 'spitgate' incident behind.
Prescott, in response to the renewed attention, lightheartedly suggested his approach to Carter would depend on the DT's initial words, humorously adding he might try to win him over. Both players seem keen on ensuring a more civil contest this time around, though the lingering memory of the past incident is undeniable.
