Hours after Jalen Carter spat on Dak Prescott, the Eagles star showed some remorse for his behavior ... calling his actions "a mistake."

The gross scene went down just after the start of Philadelphia's season-opener against the Cowboys ... when Carter was jawin' back-and-forth with Dallas' signal-caller.

At one point, cameras captured the Philadelphia defensive tackle hocking a loogie on Dak's chest -- and when a ref saw it, Carter was ejected from the game.

A new bombshell has entered the NFL universe -- "Love Island: USA" star Huda Mustafa made a surprise appearance during the league's season-opening broadcast on Thursday ... getting her name called to break down the Eagles' famous "Tush Push."

NBC enlisted Huda for a segment on the subject prior to Philadelphia's matchup with the Dallas Cowboys ... going into detail on how it was almost banned this offseason before mocking those who complained about it.

She made a reference to one of her viral moments from the dating show in the process ... saying she's "no football expert, only a mommy."

Jamie Collins and his wife, Katrina Jackson -- AKA Kat Tat -- are saying goodbye to their Florida digs ... and this one's loaded with luxury.

Real estate sources tell us the 2x Super Bowl champ -- formerly with the New England Patriots -- and the "Black Ink Crew: Chicago" reality star listed their 4-bedroom, 5-bath estate about 20 minutes outside Melbourne for $4 million last week.

The place is giving major resort vibes. The pad sits on a nearly 1-acre lot inside a gated community and spans 4,350 square feet of living space.

We are kickin' off the 2025 NFL season with all of these sexy supporters sportin' jerseys ... Say less!

Stars like SZA are ready to score a touchdown on football Sundays -- both with her fierce frontside and bodacious backside -- and Latto is willing and ready to get after it with a "look back at it" selfie!

Oh, and here's a lucky bum shot of Danish model Josephine Skriver -- we're sure it'll live rent-free in your head for the day 😘!

No matter what country Travis Kelce's in, his love for Taylor Swift is apparent ... as he just raved about his pop star fiancée to Brazilian media members.

The Chiefs tight end -- alongside his quarterback, Patrick Mahomes -- met with São Paulo reporters just minutes ago to preview their Friday night matchup with the L.A. Chargers ... and, of course, Swift was at one point brought up.

Kelce was questioned about how his life has changed since he began shacking up with the "Bad Blood" crooner some two years ago ... and he couldn't help but gush about the 'ship.

Turns out, Travis Kelce's just as loved in Brazil as he is in Kansas City ... check out some footage of him touching down in a São Paulo airport Wednesday -- he was mobbed by fans!

The tight end and the rest of the Chiefs are hitting South America this week for their season-opening game against the Los Angeles Chargers ... and it appears the locals are certainly in favor of K.C. ahead of the big matchup.

Video NFL Brasil shared shows as Kelce made his way from the Chiefs' plane to ground transport, people clad in red desperately tried to reach over barriers to get their hands on him.

1:13 PM PT -- TMZ Sports has now obtained an unredacted copy of the incident report ... and it states it was Micheal Barrow's minor son who the former linebacker had been quarreling with.

According to the docs, Shelley wrapped herself around her and Barrow's child to try to calm him down ... and then was inadvertently struck.

The docs state Barrow's other, older son "witnessed his mom on the ground" and Barrow "punching his younger brother," so he raced in and wrestled with Barrow before the ex-New York Giant was ultimately arrested for his alleged behavior.

Former NFL linebacker Micheal Barrow -- a second-round pick in the 1993 draft -- was arrested on Tuesday after cops say he inadvertently hit his wife during a wild family dispute at an airport.

There's been plenty of iconic nicknames associated with football players over the years ... and it looks like Dylan Raiola might be remembered as "Baby Mahomes" in his future!

The college football player's received a lot of attention for his similarity to Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes -- and they're both aware of the comparison, too!

We're going to check out how the quarterbacks ended up being linked and see how they've managed to take the whole situation in stride.

Dylan's on the University of Nebraska's football squad, where he plays quarterback.

The athlete had actually been committed to both Ohio State University and the University of Georgia before he ended up at Nebraska. He started playing for the Cornhuskers during their 2024 season.

Dylan's first season with the Cornhuskers saw the team go through various ups and downs, and they finished with a 7-6 record.

Oh, and by the way, the guy's got football in his genes, because his father Dominic spent 14 years playing center for the Detroit Lions -- and L.A. Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is his godfather!

Dylan started being compared to Patrick at the beginning of his collegiate career -- and in all fairness, the guys don't exactly look too dissimilar.

The connection between the two only became more pronounced when the college athlete began imitating the NFL star's warmup ritual at Nebraska's games.

Nebraska's coach Matt Rhule is well aware of the comparisons between the athletes, seeing the similarity as a positive, and he claimed Dylan is "a winner, just like Patrick" on an episode of "The Rich Eisen Show."

Even the Chiefs star has commented about the similarity between their styles of play, and he referred to the Cornhuskers quarterback as his "lil cuzzo" in a post shared on his X account in August 2024.

Patrick's spoken openly about the comparison between himself and Dylan, and he totally understands why a college-level player might want to take after an NFL star.

Mahomes recalled emulating Alex Rodriguez as he played baseball growing up, and said modeling his game after the former shortstop "helped me become the athlete that I am," according to ESPN.

Mahomes also spoke highly of Dylan's football skills and predicted the Cornhuskers quarterback was "going to make his own stamp on the game" over the years.

Travis Kelce is screaming from the rooftops about who his "Lover" is -- and we can't blame him!

"New Heights" is back Wednesday and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end is addressing his and Taylor Swift's engagement news, telling brother Jason Kelce ... "It’s been really fun telling everybody who I’m going to be spending the rest of my life with."

He also teased what wedding planning will be like, noting it’s "gonna go crazy." Swifties are certainly on the edge of their seats.

Ricky Pearsall and Brian Robinson Jr. have quite the unique bond -- they are both victims of gun violence ... and the San Francisco wide receiver said the two recently shared their experiences after the running back was recently traded to the 49ers.

Pearsall opened up about the conversation he had with his new teammate in an interview with talkSPORT ... saying they spoke about the topic once the Washington Commanders traded Robinson, their 2022 third-round draft pick, to the Bay Area.

"We actually just told each other our stories, I think that was last week, and being able to go back and reflect with someone that can directly relate to you ... and he mentioned you never know what you're going to do in that situation until you're in it," Pearsall said.

Jordon Hudson found ways to keep herself occupied while Bill Belichick struggled through his UNC debut ... even at one point fielding a phone call during the Tar Heels' disaster.

Check out some photos of Belichick's 24-year-old girlfriend on Monday ... while she had some sweet seats for her man's big night -- she was anything but thrilled to watch North Carolina get drubbed by TCU.

She seemed nervous throughout -- and appeared to phone a friend to get her mind away from the action on the field.

Jason Kelce isn't too confident he'll be Travis's best man come Taylor Swift's wedding day -- the Philadelphia Eagles legend said he'd love to have the gig, but admitted his bro's got a lot of options.

Taylor's future brother-in-law opened up on his chances on the "Bussin' With the Boys" podcast this week ... gushing over the positives he's personally witnessed throughout the singer and Chiefs superstar's relationship before being asked if those words would wind up in his reception speech.

Jason revealed Travis hasn't asked him to be the best man just yet ... and while he's optimistic, he said it's not a lock.

A woman who dialed 911 to report a domestic incident involving Ryan Crow claimed during the emergency call she saw the Miami Dolphins coach "choking" a woman.

The witness told authorities, according to 911 audio obtained by TMZ Sports, she observed Crow and an unidentified woman getting into it at an apartment complex in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. at around 11:45 PM on Aug. 28.

"A guy started choking his girl outside," the caller said. "And then they went back inside upstairs to the floor and we heard him slam her."

Even Bill Belichick's No. 1 cheerleader Jordon Hudson couldn't save his painful University of North Carolina head coaching debut as the Tar Heels lost to the TCU Horned Frogs Monday night ... and fans are having a field day cracking jokes online.

The Tar Heels took the L against Texas Christian University 14-48 after months of media scrutiny over the legendary football coach's relationship with the much-younger beauty queen, who supported him in a suite alongside former NFL star Randy Moss.

The game actually started off hot for UNC -- they scored a touchdown on their opening drive. But, TCU quickly took over the game -- and fans are throwing red flags all over Bill and his brunette beauty.

If Colin Kaepernick wants to put some tape together for an NFL return, there's one league open to giving him that platform -- 'cause UFL exec Doug Whaley says if the quarterback came calling, they'd listen.

Whaley -- the UFL's senior vice president of player personnel -- spoke with TMZ Sports this week ... right ahead of the 2025-26 NFL season, which will mark nearly nine years since Kaepernick last played in the league.

The UFL (United Football League) has built a reputation for giving players and coaches a platform to develop their way to the NFL. So, we asked whether Kaepernick -- who hasn't played since his national anthem demonstration -- would be welcome to go a similar route.

New York Jets fans have a sense of hope with the NFL season nearly upon us ... and former Jets offensive lineman Willie Colon took a couple minutes to speak with TMZ Sports about their upcoming campaign -- and why the fans are so optimistic!

We caught up with the ex-guard out in NYC this week to get his thoughts ahead of Gang Green's 2025 season ... and he told us he's fired up for first-year head coach Aaron Glenn.

"I think Aaron Glenn was a great hire," he said. "Homegrown, played for the Jets. I got a lot of respect for him. I know a lot of people who played in his era are pulling for him."
