The game takes on added drama after the notorious \u201cspit-gate\u201d episode in Week 1, when Carter was ejected before logging a single defensive snap for spitting on Prescott. That act not only led to Carter\u2019s ejection but also resulted in a $57,222 fine, equivalent to his game check.<\/p>\n<p>Prescott, who threw for 188 yards with a 61.8% completion rate in the initial 24-20 loss to the Eagles, acknowledged the awkward history but expressed a desire to keep things civil this time around.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDepends on what he says first, but probably something friendly. Get on his good side,\u201d Prescott said, per Jon Machota of The Athletic.<\/p>\n<p>Carter, who issued an apology after the incident, has avoided revisiting the episode publicly, preferring to focus on the upcoming contest. The 24-year-old has improved statistically since the season opener. Carter now has 13 tackles, one sack, and four pass breakups in eight games, adding a disruptive presence to the Eagles&#8217; defense that already features stars like Jaelan Phillips and Nakobe Dean.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Cowboys enter the game on a high note after a 33-16 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders, with Prescott leading the offense. In 10 games, he has a passer rating of 102.5, throwing for 2,587 yards, 21 touchdowns, and 6 interceptions, while running back Javonte Williams has rushed for 809 yards and 8 touchdowns, and receivers George Pickens (908 yards, 7 TDs) and CeeDee Lamb (557 yards, 2 TDs) continue to be key contributors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For the Eagles, quarterback Jalen Hurts remains the offensive engine, supported by Saquon Barkley\u2019s 662 rushing yards and a dynamic receiving duo in DeVonta Smith and AJ Brown. Philadelphia has won four straight games and holds a 2-1 record in the division, maintaining control of the NFC East.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dak Prescott seeks to move past the Week 1 \u2018spit-gate\u2019 incident with Jalen Carter as the Cowboys face the Eagles in a Week 12 showdown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":123362,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[89,54,1909,9,327],"class_list":["post-123358","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl","tag-dak-prescott","tag-dallas-cowboys","tag-jalen-carter","tag-nfl","tag-philadelphia-eagles"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Cowboys&#039;
