- Stefon Diggs cites reason for the Patriots quick turnaround
FOXBOROUGH - By any measure, the Patriots have exceeded expectations sitting at 11-2 with a chance to clinch the AFC East with a win over Buffalo Sunday.
While a turnaround was expected, no one anticipated it coming so quickly.

As if he felt the team has grown faster than even he expected, Patriots receiver Stefon Diggs didn’t hesitate with his answer.
“I’ve been on a lot of teams,” Diggs said. “So, I wholeheartedly say yes.”
Why?
He attributed the Patriots swift turnaround to one reason.
Diggs believes the Patriots coach set the tone for what was to come.
“Mainly, he started talking about identity and things like that,” Diggs said. “(He said) you kind of figure out what team you are throughout the year, what you’re good at, what you’re going do well, what you’re going to try to be good at ... but, it kind of started from the get-go what we were going to preach as far as effort and finish, and things like that.

“There’s some things that I’ve done throughout my career, but this is the most prominent ... really identifying or defining what a leader is. Different teams require different things, and when it comes down to effort and finish, he’s non-negotiable. Blocking for your guys down the field is non-negotiable. It kind of builds the hierarchy just as far as a standard, that your best players are giving their all for everybody. And everybody follows suit.”
