Stefon Diggs found the end zone in Week 1. He offered a goalpost hug. That drew a flag for unsportsmanlike conduct. The flag arrived at a critical juncture. Washington wanted to tie the Eagles. The extra point attempt got moved farther back. The team could not recover. The Commanders' comeback came up short. It was a costly mistake. Teammates and coaches backed him following the loss. Washington came out on the wrong side. Diggs still has support in the locker room. They turn their attention to Week 2.
