"Obviously falling short is not ideal, but it's a lot to learn from. It's just the first game and I feel like we are a good team. We got to earn the right to win each and every week. We did not win this week; 24-hour rule, flush it, get back to work. We already know what happened out there as far as what we did not do right. So get back in the lab, correct it, and try to get back on track."
"That is a guy you want to run through a wall for. He obviously was a player and I got a lot of respect for him, we all do. When you come up short it is like when you disappoint your parents or disappoint your dad. A guy that played this game, he puts a lot of time in as far as pushing us and trying to make sure we're prepared for the game."
Stefon Diggs made his first start for the New England Patriots, catching six passes on seven targets for 57 yards in a 20-13 season-opening loss to the Raiders. The performance was modest as the offense struggled, but the 31-year-old wide receiver appears ahead of schedule in his comeback from a torn ACL sustained in 2024. Diggs emphasized learning from the defeat and detailed a '24-hour rule' to move on quickly, focus on corrections, and return to work. He praised new head coach Mike Vrabel's leadership and toughness, calling him a player-driven motivator who demands preparation.
