Discipline was the word of the night for quarterback Jalen Hurts after his Eagles outlasted the rival Cowboys in the NFL's season opener Thursday. An apt choice, given how the game started, as star Philadelphia defensive tackle Jalen Carter was ejected from the game during the opening drive for spitting on Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott.
In his postgame press conference, Hurts addressed the discipline that comes with settling into a new season, without directly mentioning the Carter incident in his first remarks.
