The NFL fined Commanders WR Stefon Diggs $14,926 for unsportsmanlike conduct (illegal celebrations and vulgar acts) — ju

What happened: The league cited Diggs for illegal celebrations and vulgar acts after he jumped onto the goalpost following a touchdown in last week's game against Philadelphia. Officials had already thrown an unsportsmanlike conduct flag on the play, turning the score into both an in-game penalty and a postgame fine.

Why it matters: The fine extends the fallout from Diggs' already-costly celebration into Washington's next week of preparation. It also underscores how celebration penalties can carry both field-position consequences and league discipline for a team integrating a marquee offseason addition.

By the numbers: $14,926: amount of the fine, on top of the unsportsmanlike conduct penalty assessed on the touchdown play.

What to watch: The next point to watch is whether the discipline ends with the fine or if Diggs draws added scrutiny on future celebrations.
