Dan Quinn says Diggs' penalty affected Commanders' strategy against Eagles

In their season opener, the Washington Commanders faced the Philadelphia Eagles on September 13, 2026. Following an early touchdown, the Commanders struggled offensively but showed signs of improvement with Jayden Daniels leading a scoring drive capped by a touchdown to Stefon Diggs. However, Diggs was penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct after a goalpost celebration, affecting the team's decision to attempt a two-point conversion. With a subsequent successful extra point, Washington trailed 17-16. Diggs acknowledged his mistake, while head coach Dan Quinn confirmed the intent to go for two before the penalty occurred. The Commanders later attempted another touchdown but failed another two-point conversion attempt.
