New England is now 2-0 in preseason play, and Saturday's win was thanks to a strong defensive effort on the road.

In similar fashion to Week 1, rookies TreVeyon Henderson and Efton Chism III found the end zone to power the Patriots offense. New England’s defense then limited Minnesota to four field goal attempts and held strong on the Vikings’ final two-minute drive — including a Kyle Dugger interception in the end zone on the final play from scrimmage.

The New England Patriots improved to 2-0 in the preseason with a 20-12 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Saturday, as undrafted receiver Efton Chism continued his strong push to make the 53-man roster.
