UPDATE: In a dramatic post-game confrontation, Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter faces serious accusations of a dirty tactic, leaving Buffalo Bills offensive tackle Spencer Brown with an ongoing vision issue. This heated exchange unfolded following the Eagles’ narrow 13-12 victory at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, NY, on December 10, 2023.
As players left the field, tensions flared between the Eagles and Bills. Brown was visibly upset over an incident in which he claims Carter gouged his left eye and grabbed him by the throat. Video evidence shows Brown arguing with Eagles players, including offensive tackle Fred Johnson and defensive tackle Moro Ojomo, as they made their way to the locker rooms. Despite the intensity of the situation, no physical altercations occurred.
Brown confirmed the argument centered on the altercation with Carter. “Sure, you could say that,” he stated, expressing his frustration. Even NFL analyst Tom Brady weighed in during the broadcast, remarking, “Ouch, (Brown) got eye gouged and throat slashed.”
The aftermath was alarming for Brown, who reported that his vision remained affected throughout the game and beyond. “I have to go get checked out after this (interview) because it’s still fogged over,” Brown said. “It doesn’t look like anything is broken. It’s just like there’s a haze throughout the room.”
Carter’s performance was significant, marking his return after undergoing shoulder procedures. He contributed to the win with one of the Eagles’ five sacks on quarterback Josh Allen, a tackle for a loss, and a pivotal blocked extra point that ultimately decided the game.
Despite not receiving a penalty during the match, the NFL could impose a fine on Carter for this incident. Earlier this season, he was fined $57,222 for spitting on Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott and faced an additional fine of $11,593 for taunting after blocking a field goal against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 3.
As the situation develops, all eyes will be on the NFL’s response to the allegations against Carter and the potential consequences he may face. Fans and analysts alike will be closely watching the implications of this incident on both players’ careers and the remainder of the Eagles’ season.
Stay tuned for further updates as this story unfolds, and follow the latest developments from both teams.
