By Matt AudiletShareNewsweek is a Trust Project memberThe Philadelphia Eagles will travel to AT&T Stadium for a Week 12 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday afternoon.
This divisional matchup marks these rivals' first meeting since the Eagles welcomed the Cowboys to Lincoln Financial Field for a season-opening contest in Week 1.
Before the first snap of the Eagles' 24-20 victory, Philadelphia defensive lineman Jalen Carter was ejected for spitting on Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. Later, video surfaced showing Prescott spitting on the ground in Carter's direction — sparking Carter's retalliation.
Carter was issued a one-game NFL suspension, which was deemed served as he missed the entirety of Week 1. Prescott received no NFL punishment.
This Week 1 incident is a significant storyline heading into Sunday's Week 12 rematch.
Prescott was asked what he plans to say to Carter when he sees him on the field this weekend.
"Depends on what he says first. But probably something friendly. Get on his good side," Prescott said, via ESPN.

Carter took a more serious route, avoiding discussion of the incident altogether.
"We're not worried about that. We're here where we are right now," Carter said. "And at the end of the day, everyone is playing so that's all we're worried about."
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer and the Cowboys are now preparing to face off against Carter for the first time this season.
"A big difference [when Carter is on the field]," Schottenheimer said. "He's a really good player and he's packaged in there with some really good players. Jordan Davis is obviously an incredible player as well. Jaelan Phillips, I mean, the front ... this is a hell of a defense. I think they're best in the league. It's going to be really tough, but we love that challenge and we think we're pretty good, too."
Sunday's Eagles-Cowboys matchup will kickoff at 4:25 p.m. ET.
