Jayden Daniels Takes Blame for Diggs' Penalty

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels took accountability for Stefon Diggs' costly celebration penalty after their 24-22 loss to Philadelphia, admitting the mistake fell on him as team captain.

Diggs' touchdown catch in the third quarter helped Washington cut Philadelphia's lead to 17-15, but a 15-yard celebration penalty pushed the team back and forced them to settle for one point instead of attempting a 2-point conversion. Daniels revealed the team likely would have gone for two earlier in the game had the penalty not occurred.

The penalty loomed large in the final minutes, when Washington needed a two-point conversion of their own to tie the game and came up short. 'You just got to be smarter, we've got to know situational football. That's on me for not reiterating that in the huddle,' Daniels said after the game. 'There's a time and place for everything and celebrations.' realschule-moosburg.de
