Five Studs, Three Duds From Informative Patriots Victory Over Vikings
The New England Patriots carved out yet another preseason victory over the Minnesota Vikings, 20-12, on Saturday at U.S. Bank Stadium.
Who stood out for better or worse?
I’m so glad you asked…
It’s hard to make a better case for a roster spot than Efton Chism III did on Saturday afternoon in Minneapolis, Minn.
Chism finished the ballgame with six receptions and one score, including four grabs on the drive in which he found the end zone. The Patriots don’t necessarily need another slot receiver, but they found one and better roster him to make sure he doesn’t get scooped up by someone else.
It’s no longer a question, folks — the kid is here to stay.
