It sounds like that Dallas-Philly situation just got substantially more complicated, and the fact that the NFL hasn't immediately levied a three-game or so initial suspension on Eagles star defender Jalen Carter shows there may be more to this story than first meets the eye.
Including: Did Dak spit on Carter first? About the only reason one might not think that is that New York had jurisdiction to eject Dak Prescott on the play, once "non-football acts" were involved.
It appears that Dak Prescott may have been interpreted as to spit on Carter's feet, which obviously got the inappropo (and still a multiple-game suspension-worthy foul!) response from Carter.
That might explain, even with such an act, why the NFL decided to have the Eagles win anyway, when there was no case for them to do so otherwise. To literally have an incident like that before Play One is usually an indicator (at least to me) that something fishy is going on...
I still think the Eagles are gonna pay for that big-time, however. They'll just wait.
Edit to add Tuesday afternoon: Carter gets the game he never played in, and loses the paycheck. Probably some mitigation by Prescott's actions -- and that could be actionable on Saturday as well.
