Stefon Diggs reached the end zone in Week 1. He then gave a goalpost hug. That brought a flag for unsportsmanlike conduct. The flag came at a critical juncture. Washington was trying to tie the Eagles. The extra point attempt moved back. The team could not bounce back. The Commanders' comeback came up short. It was a costly mistake. Teammates and coaches stood by him following the loss. Washington could not pull it out. Diggs still has support inside the building. They move on to Week 2.
