Tyler Guyton’s Unpenalized Hit on Eagles Defender Triggers Fresh Officiating Scrutiny

The uncalled contact drew attention because officials had just ejected Jalen Carter for spitting.

Overview

  • Video shows the Cowboys left tackle striking an Eagles rusher in the helmet during a pass play without drawing a flag or ejection.
  • The clip went viral on X, where fans and analysts questioned how the crew missed the contact and whether it met ejection criteria.
  • The play followed other high-profile enforcement in the same game, including Jalen Carter’s ejection for spitting and a taunting penalty on Nolan Smith Jr.
  • Analysts referenced the NFL’s ejection standard for flagrant acts and compared the non-call to recent punch-related discipline, including Shilo Sanders’ ejection and fine.
  • As of the latest reports, the league has not announced any discipline or explanation for the non-call, keeping attention on consistency and the limits of in-game officiating.
