Tampa Bay - 21, Seattle - 16
Q. What were they able to do offensively that you weren't expecting today?
QUANDRE DIGGS: I just think they came out and broke some tendencies. They ran the ball more than they have in the past. It kind of gets you out of whack when you prepare for them to throw the ball a little bit more.
They ran it really well today, so I don't blame them for continuing to stick with the run game. We've just got to play our assignments better. At the end of the day, we've got to be better.
Q. Thoughts on the crowd atmosphere here today?
QUANDRE DIGGS: It was amazing. They came out and showed their love for the American game. I'm glad we were able to give them a good game and turn it up in the second half.
We wish we would have won, but we enjoyed it. It was a great atmosphere.
Q. Was there anything about the travel or the time change or anything that affected you early in the game with the slow start?
QUANDRE DIGGS: I don't think so. I think we've got to lock in and everybody has to understand their assignment and understand what we're doing. It's just small, mental things you can't have when you're playing against the best ever.
Can't look at it like that. You've got to look at it as another game and another opportunity to get better and be on your Ps and Qs.
Q. Geno just said the problem was kind of the overall execution for the team. Now you're on bye week next week. What are you trying to change, or what are you going to change while on bye week?
QUANDRE DIGGS: I think it just starts with us both sides and special teams, we've just got to start off faster. You can't switch up everything that's going on. We've been successful doing what we've been doing. We've just got to start faster and play better at the beginning of the game, and I think that will help us out and we'll have different outcomes.
Q. Quandre, this team had problems defending in September. Is there any similar things to what we talked about in September?
QUANDRE DIGGS: I just think with the -- like I said, they broke some tendencies that we studied during the week. You've got to expect that with Tom. He's managing the game, and he understands, and him and Leftwich have a good thing over there.
I just think at the end of the day we've got to get some of that leaky yardage out. When we get the leaky yardage and we start stopping, and when we get them behind the sticks, we've got to get them behind the sticks and keep them behind the sticks.
Q. Did you get the impression he was changing with those runs?
QUANDRE DIGGS: He's been doing it so long, I wouldn't be surprised. I'm sure he has full authority of that offense. A player of his caliber, he should. So I wouldn't be surprised.
Q. When you give up yardage, is that players getting in the right positions, is it missed tackles, or is it just your run defense discipline?
QUANDRE DIGGS: I think it's a mixture of everything. Everybody can be better. I think we all could be better. I think, when we can get guys behind the sticks and keep them behind the sticks, we definitely, we play a lot better because we control what guys want to do.
That's another one of those things where I tell you they broke some tendencies where we get them stopped on one down, and they run it again on the next down. It was kind of different than what they've been doing in the past.
