PHILADELPHIA -- Eagles standout defensive tackle Jalen Carter was ejected from Thursday night's 24-20 win against the Dallas Cowboys before the first play from scrimmage.

After the opening kickoff, there was an injury delay for Eagles fullback Ben VanSumeren , who remained on the ground for several minutes. During that time, Carter and Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott got face-to-face, and Carter spit on Prescott as the two began to separate.

"It was a mistake that happened on my side, and it just won't happen again," Carter said after the game. "I feel bad for my teammates and the fans out there. I'm doing it for them. ... Not being able to start the game even, finish the game, it f---ed me up, but we're going to get it better. It won't happen again. I can make that promise.
