New England Patriots vs Minnesota Vikings FULL GAME Aug 16 ,2025 | NFL Week 2 Preseason 2025

sound the Galler Horn. She is a quarterback for the Egan tackle and Flag football teams and she was recently selected to be part of the 2025 USA football select bowl earlier this summer. She’s the only one from the upper Midwest to do so as one of the nation’s top rising stars in the sport. Now, there’s scouts there, and her scouting report reads, “As such, sharp, accurate passes under pressure, and she threw for 1866 yards and 39 touchdowns last season.” All right, thank you, Tatum. The New England Patriots, wearing red, white, and blue, won the toss and elected to receive. 32 for them set to return uh the kick along with veteran Antonio Gibson is second round Ohio State rookie Tayvon Henderson. He took the yards to the house. Drake May and the Patriots expected to play a majority of their ones at least for a series. And boom, preseason game two is in the air. Here comes the aforementioned Henderson right up the middle to the 15 20 25 and the Ohio State product with a 26-yd return to begin. Now, how about this? Drake May, second year from North Carolina today, but perhaps their coach Mike Vrabel wasn’t happy with the way the Vikings dominated the Thursday of those joints. So he’s throwing the ones out there for a series, including the aforementioned May who goes under center and he’s going to go play action. Throws to the right side and it’s caught. It’s veteran M. Hollands in his ninth year from North Carolina. That’s a gain of 11 and a New England Patriots first down. The Patriots beat Washington last game 4818. The Vikings here beat Houston 20-10. When the Vikings go to offense, Sam Hal will be the starting quarterback. And as the Patriots break the huddle up front for the Vikings, you have Jonathan Harris, a Tyrion Ingram Dawkins, the rookie from Georgia. And Antonio Gibson gets the carry and the veteran grinds to the left side across the 45 hit and stopped by Kobe King after a gain of nine yardds. Pete Bersich at second and one. And I think Paul getting a look at the the guys that have had their opportunity to start this preseason game. The guy that stands out to me is Zamaya Vaughn, right? Yeah, guy from he has seven different siblings and looking good. He’s got the he’s 6’2, so he’s 6’3, excuse me. He’s got the long arms. I think they like that about him. He’s getting an opportunity today to really prove that he belongs on his football team. Taki Tymani is our man in the middle. Hand off Gibson right into Taimmani who wraps him up around his waist and brings him down. But it’s a gain of two yards and a first down for the New England Patriots. So Drake May playing along with Gibson and perhaps Henderson. Will Campbell uh is their starting one of their starting offensive tackles, fourth overall pick in the most recent draft. The belief is is the way the Thursday joint practice went for the New England Patriots. Mike Frabel’s like, if you guys are going to practice like that, then you’re going to play in this game. Well, I I I kind of like it. you know, it’s basically just as a head coach like you have to assert, you know, what type of team and set the tone for not only just the rest of training camp, but also the regular season. But I can imagine as we saw in the very first play and we’re seeing right now, nearly had an interception for the Minnesota Vikings. Drake May overshot M. Hollands and Taviier Thomas nearly had the interception. Second and 10, you were saying, well, it it was a bad ball. It was a bad ball that floated over the top. Maybe. I mean, you could probably say it should have been caught, but the point that I was going to try to make is the very first play, passing play, quick slant, very quick, very easy. If you’re going to put these guys out here, we all know the importance of their starters. We all know the importance of Drake May. Don’t put him in harm’s way. Expect a lot of short, quick passing game and also to get him outside the pocket. Drake May three of five, 12 yards versus Washington. He had a couple of rushing touchdowns last year. Carl Shepers handled the joint practices and there he is number 10 offense fiveyd penalty second down putting a penalty on Drake May second year North Carolina so second and 15 and for Mike Greyel and your whole goal is to motivate these guys you have a pass that should have been intercepted then you come turn around and delay the game I don’t know if the Patriots starters are getting that message Paul well former Viking Garrett Bradberry is starting at center for the Patriots and I don’t believe that was the plan Thursday. May back to pass, throws left and it’s caught in Vikings territory at about the 48 yd line. Gain of three. That’s K Shan Bouti uh who played quite well for the Patriots last year. So that’s going to make it third and right around seven. First possession of preseason game number two. When the Vikings get the ball, Sam How will be the quarterback. That’ll go into Brett Ripen. Uh the intel is Gopher’s rookie Max Bromer plays the entire second half and for the third quarter, Vikings coach Kevin Oonnell joins the simal cast on Fox 9, KFAN and the Vikings Audio Network for the entire quarter. Third and seven for New England May out of the shotgun. He’s going to loop one up left and Henderson cannot bring it in on a wheel route. Kobe King, one of two on the defense along with Jay Ward, who had a pick six in those joint practices. So, the Patriots run out most of their one offense and a bunch of twos and threes for the Vikings. Just shut him down. Yeah, you have to love how the defense has started, Paul. Turnovers last year, 24 interceptions. We had our hands, Ben Lever, on two footballs already. And that’s just the opening drive. Well, and I was going to say it was your guy, Kobe King, who you’re super high on. I mean, we know him as a kind of a downhill thumper. It was good to see him make a play in coverage. Ty Felton, the rookie from Maryland, the first to get a punt return time. And here’s our high B rookie profile, focusing on Maryland wide receiver Ty Felton. And Paul, we all know about his 43740 that he ran. What you don’t know about is that he had a he wanted to go to Virginia, had an ACL tear his junior year in high school, and they didn’t want him, so he ended up going to Maryland. And look where he is now. First and 10 for the Vikings from their own 13. Felton in motion. Pal will hand the ball to Ty Chandler who wiggles his way past the 15, is encountered at the 17 and is taken down after a gain of 5 yardds. Xavier Scott will get a significant run today too. Sam How, who had had some rough moments early in training camp, 11 of 13, 105 last game against the Houston Texans. He also triggered a 94 yd preseason touchdown drive. Second down out of the shotgun. Chandler jukes left, heads right across the 20, and he’s taken down shy of a first down, but it’s a gain of four, making it third and short. Well, one of the guys that we talked so much about last week was Xavier Scott. So that means that a guy like Ty Chandler, who’s going to get the start today, he needs to have a huge day if he wants to keep this spot as a number three running back. Sam How sneaking like he did last game when he went to sneaking for a Vikings rushing touchdown. He plows ahead behind center Mike Jurgens and right guard Blake Brandell for a three-yd first down. Now for the New England Patriots, Mike Brabel, I mean absolutely not messing around with these starters. Milton Williams, who won a Super Bowl with the Philadelphia Eagles last year. He’s their man in the middle, one of the big free agent signs this off season. He’s 97. Carlton Davis, uh, he’s a corner, uh, who is new to the Patriots, also got himself a lot of money in free agency. He’s in the game. Roberts Fellain, their best linebacker. How on first down gets away from Williams. He runs to the right, angles up the middle across the 30. Ball squirts out, but it was down at about the 30. Sam How spry. Sam How with a little run of five. Second and five. It’s too bad that he pulled that thing down. He might he got a little pressure up the middle, but off the play action, receivers open down the field, Ben, and you just hope that if he just hangs in there for a little bit longer, maybe he could turn that into a big play. Yeah, another big part of that play though was Ty Chandler. Talk about him. Xavier Scott did not do a great job in pass. He did an excellent job on that last play. And Chandler, by the way, who gets the carry, he picked up Milton Williams, their maybe their best defensive player overall, who was coming in like a non-charging bull when Tai stood him up. A gain of three for Chandler as a couple of Vikings depart. Bayer Thomas along with tight end Bryson Nesbbit come into the game and it’s third and short. About 9 and 1/2 minutes to go in the
