Diggs flagged again for goalpost celebration he'd already been penalized for

First instance wiped out a game-tying two-point try vs. Eagles

What happened: Stefon Diggs drew a penalty for a goalpost celebration, the same infraction that had already cost the Commanders on a two-point conversion try in their Week 1 loss to the Eagles. Quarterback Jayden Daniels addressed the earlier penalty publicly after that game.

Why it matters: A repeat penalty on an infraction the team had already been burned by raises discipline questions during Diggs' first season in Washington. The original instance directly erased a game-tying two-point attempt, making the cost of the mistake concrete rather than abstract.

What to watch: Watch whether Diggs adjusts his celebrations before Washington's next game, and whether the Commanders address it internally.
