Stefon Diggs Seemingly Responds to Costly Week 1 Mistake on Social Media
Washington Commanders veteran wide receiver Stefon Diggs seemingly responded to his costly Week 1 penalty.
On Sunday, the Washington Commanders suffered a 24-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, marking their opening game of the 2026 NFL season. Rookie wide receiver Stefon Diggs contributed to the team's defeat by being penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct after jumping on the goal post. This infraction cost the Commanders 15 yards and a potential scoring opportunity.
Coach Dan Quinn indicated that the team would have attempted a game-tying two-point conversion if Diggs had not been penalized, resulting in an extra point kick instead. In a Tuesday post on social media, Diggs seemingly addressed the incident, stating, "As soon as I wrapped my arms around it, I was like, Oh, I forgot." Reflecting on his extensive career, he added, "Back in the day — I've been playing for a long time — you used to be able to do that.
I've got to be better." The Commanders aim to regroup and improve in their Week 2 game against the Dallas Cowboys at Lincoln Financial Field.
