The season opener started with that familiar NFC East electricity. Every single play felt magnified under the Philadelphia lights. And every emotion seemed ready to boil over. Then, in a flash, it all went sideways before the first snap even happened.
The stunning ejection of star defensive tackle Jalen Carter six seconds into the game sent shockwaves through Lincoln Financial Field. And all eyes immediately turned to team captain Jalen Hurts for his response. And Hurts addressed the incident head-on after a hard-fought 24-20 victory.
Hurts was asked directly about Carter’s discipline after his opening statement on discipline.
