Vikings earn national audience for preseason game against Titans
Vikings earn national audience for preseason game against Titans The Minnesota Vikings defense has proven to be one of the toughest in the NFL in recent years, but in 2024, they became special. Brian Flores had a unit that struck fear into the hearts of every quarterback that faced it and now they will get to welcome the top pick in the draft to the NFL. Andrew Siciliano announced on Thursday the NFL's national preseason game schedule and the Minnesota Vikings find themselves being the final game on the slate. They will be facing the Tennessee Titans and their new franchise quarterback Cam Ward on CBS in primetime on August 22. In past year, the final preseason game of the year has been the final audition for teams to get to see what their first-team units look like ahead of the new season, so it would mean that Ward would face the majority of the Pro Bowlers on the Vikings' defensive side of the ball. The Titans will see very quickly what they have in their new quarterback, and the Vikings will see how he can handle the pressure coming at them from a quarterback who can extend plays.

Patriots get primetime television spot for anticipated preseason game
Patriots get primetime television spot for anticipated preseason game The New England Patriots will face the New York Giants in a nationally televised game in Week 3 of the preseason. A listing of all of the televised 2025 preseason games was shared on social media on Thursday by NFL analyst Andrew Siciliano. The Patriots' matchup with the Giants will be featured on Amazon Prime Video on Thursday, August 21 at 8 p.m. ET. The Patriots and Giants have seemingly made preseason matchups a tradition. They have met 30 times, with the Giants holding a 19-11 advantage in the preseason series. They played each other at least once a year from 2005-2019. The Patriots were defeated by the Giants 23-21 in the 2022 preseason game. There's some added intrigue to this matchup given the number of talented young stars from both teams. The Giants have second-year wideout Malik Nabers, rookie edge rusher Abdul Carter and rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart, while the Patriots have second-year quarterback Drake Maye and rookie offensive tackle Will Campbell. Could we potentially see a tease of Campbell going head-to-head with Carter? If not in the preseason, then we could definitely see it later in the year, as the Patriots are also scheduled to meet the Giants in a regular-season Monday Night Football matchup in December.

KPMG rolls out AI-powered tool for mitigating tariff risks
This story was originally published on CFO Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily CFO Dive newsletter. Dive Brief: KPMG has rolled out a new tool designed to help clients navigate 'an increasingly complex trade and tariff landscape,' the Big Four accounting and consulting firm said in a May 1 release. The tool, which is powered by generative artificial intelligence and featured on KPMG's Digital Gateway platform, allows users to simulate potential tariff scenarios and visualize impacts on global supply chain operations, among other capabilities, according to a company description. 'Businesses across every industry are confronting significant challenges as they move quickly to adapt their trade strategies to tackle tariff disruption,' George Zaharatos, KPMG's global data and technology leader, said in an email. 'With our AI-powered platform, we're helping clients firm-wide at unprecedented speed, underscoring the imperative of acting swiftly in response to these impactful trade policies.' Dive Insight: Global consulting firms are ramping up their use of AI to boost internal capabilities while also enhancing the services they provide to enterprise clients. Last month, KPMG announced the integration of AI agents into Clara, the firm's global smart audit platform. That move, the company says, will enable more than 95,000 auditors globally to automate routine tasks. In March, competitor Deloitte unveiled a new suite of 'ready-to-deploy' AI agents designed to automate workflows across business functions, including financial management. And PwC said in March that it was rolling out a platform designed to help enterprises with operating multi-agent business processes at scale. KPMG's new tariff tool can help with complex analyses that play a role in mitigation strategies a CFO might choose to adopt, according to Andrew Siciliano, global and U.S. head of trade and customs at KPMG. 'For example, just because a product is shipped from China, doesn't mean the country of origin is China,' Siciliano said in an email. 'Determining country of origin is important as a tariff applies to an import based on the country that the goods originated from.' More than 100 Fortune 500 and top private equity clients are already implementing the tool to prepare for and respond to ongoing trade policy changes, KPMG said in its press release.
