Stefon Diggs found the end zone in Week 1. He then gave an embrace of the goalpost. That earned a flag for unsportsmanlike conduct. The flag was thrown at a key time. Washington was trying to tie the Eagles. The extra point attempt moved back. The team never recovered. The Commanders' comeback did not materialize. It was an expensive error. Teammates and coaches stood by him afterward. Washington could not pull it out. Diggs still has support from the team. They shift focus to Week 2.
