Stefon Diggs reached the end zone in Week 1. He offered a hug on the goalpost. That earned an unsportsmanlike foul. The flag came at a key time. Washington was trying to tie the Eagles. The extra point attempt was pushed back. The team could not recover. The Commanders' comeback came up short. It was a huge blunder. Teammates and coaches stood by him afterward. Washington came out on the wrong side. Diggs still has support from the team. They move on to Week 2.
