""We have this little saying, 'Don't switch the macaroni and cheese,'" Diggs said on Sunday after New England's regular-season finale, adding: "The analogy came from somebody on Thanksgiving. They came to their family gathering and they made new mac and cheese. They said, 'don't trial and error on our day.' So, same recipe. Don't change the mac and cheese." That message is resonating more than ever this week as a Patriots team filled with younger players braces for playoff football."
""You don't try to go and make new macaroni, as I referenced last week," Diggs said Wednesday at Gillette Stadium. "I'm not going in with new macaroni. We're just going in with that same thought process and just trying to tighten up a little bit far as putting a little bit of extra time on your body, or putting a little bit of extra time on film, whatever it is that's going to help you get an edge.""
Stefon Diggs, a veteran receiver and Drake Maye's primary target, has led locker-room slogans including 'We all we got, we all we need.' A newer mantra — 'Don't switch the macaroni and cheese' — emerged from a Thanksgiving analogy advising against experimenting on game day. The coaching and player emphasis is on maintaining the same successful formula, tightening preparation, and adding marginal work on bodies and film. The message resonates among a younger Patriots roster as New England prepares to host its first playoff game at Gillette Stadium since 2019 against the Los Angeles Chargers.
