  "account": "Stefon Diggs' touchdown celebration may have benefited the Philadelphia Eagles. Following his 10-yard reception from Jayden Daniels, Diggs celebrated by leaping and grabbing the base of the goalpost before hugging it. This violation of the \"Jimmy Graham Rule\" resulted in a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, preventing the Commanders from attempting a 2-point conversion and settling the score at 17-16. The Eagles capitalized on this, scoring on their next possession for a 24-16 lead. Goalpost grabbing, while rare, has caused delays in the past. In 2013, Jimmy Graham bent the goalpost during a dunk, leading to a 20-minute delay.",
