That\u2019s exactly when the accident happened as Jalen and Dallas QB Dak Prescott got face-to-face, and Carter spat on Prescott.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was my mistake and I will not repeat that,\u201d shared the Eagles\u2019 defensive tackle after the match. \u201cI\u2019m sorry that I let down my team and the supporters of our team. Not being able to play, even to start the match, made me sad, but I learnt my lesson and it will not happen again. I promised that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was shown later that Dak was spitting in the direction of Carter and the Philadelphia defense before the defensive tackle spat on him.<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys quarterback also commented on the incident, as he labeled it a misunderstanding that escalated, and that he spat during the matches, and Carter thought that Dak was doing it intentionally.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u201cI guess I needed to spit.
