Phil Perry's new Patriots 53-man roster projection features a few surprises after an eventful week in Minnesota.

Second-year quarterback Drake Maye and rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson were in action for the first two drives of the team's preseason matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. The opening drive ended in a punt, but the second drive saw Henderson reach the end zone.

Those are some legendary names in Patriots history that Chism managed to impress. Both McCourty brothers and Andrews are Super Bowl champs. McCourty and Andrews were also long-time captains in New England.

Here are 12 takeaways from the New England Patriots' 20-12 win over the Minnesota Vikings in Saturday's preseason game.

The Patriots, who have won three straight titles, are poised to make history with a new head coach at the helm. Bobby Bolding takes over the program after his brother, Brad Bolding, left to return to North Little Rock.

On Saturday, Ben Brown started at left guard in place of Jared Wilson. The rookie appeared to have beaten out Cole Strange earlier in training camp, but against the Vikings, he played left guard and center with the backup offense.

New England Patriots safety Kyle Dugger had a chance to end his team's preseason game, but almost gave the win away.
