"It's a lesson for sure that you're going to have to keep that foot on the gas."
"It is definitely something - you never know, we probably needed it. Going on a little streak, not going to say it's a lot of pressure, but you expect to win, as you should, each and every week. But you play good teams every week."
"I wouldn't say we forgot (how to lose). You never know. We probably needed it... it's good for us. I kinda said it at the beginning of the year. Lessons."
The Patriots fell to the Bills 35-31 at a snowy Gillette Stadium after surrendering a 21-0 second-quarter lead and a 17-point halftime advantage. The loss marked New England's first defeat since Week 3 of the 2025 season and delayed celebration of an AFC East title. The result raised questions about New England's playoff viability and prompted critical pundit reaction about schedule and contender status. Stefon Diggs framed the defeat as a useful lesson and said the team probably needed the loss to refocus and maintain urgency moving forward. New England retains chances to clinch the division later in the season.
