Former Cowboys Star Slams Jalen Carter After Shocking Ejection Against Dallas on OnlyLikeFans

Jalen Carter's Shocking Ejection

The season opener between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys took an unexpected turn when Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter was ejected in the first moments of the game. Just before the kickoff, Carter made a disastrous decision by spitting on Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. This led to an immediate flag from officials and left the Eagles without one of their key defensive players. The absence of Carter was immediately felt on the field.

Keyshawn Johnson’s Blistering Critique

Former Cowboys wide receiver Keyshawn Johnson didn’t mince words following Carter’s removal. Posting on social media platform X, Johnson expressed his disdain for Carter’s actions, calling him a "real dumbass" and referencing Carter’s past controversies during his college days. "If I was Dak Prescott, I would’ve kicked his ass in his nuts. Period," Johnson added, highlighting his frustration.

“Jalen Carter is a real dumbass, period.”

College Controversies Resurface

Johnson touched a nerve by pointing to Carter's involvement in a fatal car crash while at Georgia, which resulted in charges of reckless driving. Despite his impressive play in the NFL, these off-field issues have continued to shadow Carter's career.

Impact of Carter’s Absence on the Game

Without Carter's presence on defense, the Cowboys quickly capitalized. They launched a 6-play, 53-yard drive leading to a touchdown, putting them ahead early. NBC commentator Cris Collinsworth noted that Carter’s ejection left a significant gap in the Eagles' defense, allowing Prescott and the Cowboys to exploit the weakened lineup.

The Eagles struggled to regain their footing after losing their dominant defensive tackle, and Dallas took full advantage, building momentum as the game unfolded. Carter's absence was a costly one for Philadelphia, proving just how crucial he is to their defensive strategy.
