Jalen Carter ejected before first snap after spitting on Dak Prescott shocks NFL opener

Six seconds into the NFL season, Eagles star Jalen Carter was ejected for spitting on Dak Prescott during a stoppage after the opening kickoff. The flag came before the first defensive snap and set up a short field for Dallas, which scored right away. Broadcast replays later showed Prescott had spit on the ground moments earlier. The league is reviewing the incident for possible discipline.
