Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys 'Spitgate' Incident Sparks Fines, Family Responses

The 2025 NFL season has seen significant attention on the Philadelphia Eagles, including the controversial 'Spitgate' incident during their season opener against the Dallas Cowboys, where Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter was ejected for allegedly spitting at Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott; video later suggested Prescott spat first. Carter was fined and suspended but the suspension was considered served due to his immediate ejection. Jason Kelce, former Eagles center, and his wife Kylie Kelce publicly defended Carter, with Kylie joking about the incident on her podcast and Jason emphasizing Carter's potential and urging smarter behavior to protect his career. Meanwhile, Jason Kelce's wife Kylie also shared an awkward early NFL experience involving skepticism about her relationship with Jason during a family room introduction at Lincoln Financial Field. Separately, Eagles cornerback Cooper DeJean commented on Taylor Swift's football loyalties, suggesting that after her engagement to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, she would likely support the Chiefs rather than the Eagles, highlighting the intersection of NFL and pop culture. These developments keep the spotlight on the Eagles and their players both on and off the field.
