Will Reichard makes third FG
Catch up on live reaction and insight from Saturday's busy NFL preseason slate Getty Images Q4 11:24 - Patriots 17, Vikings 9 Will Reichard is now 3-for-3 on field goals today, this time converting from 47 yards out to make it a one-possession game once again. Getty Images Total yards in this game with 12:18 left: Q4 14:11 - Patriots 17, Vikings 6 New England gets on the board for the first time in the second half via a 28-yard field goal by John Romo, capping off an 11-play, 28-yard drive. Q3 4:19 - Colts 13, Packers 10 The Packers find the end zone for the first time today as Israel Abanikanda runs in from three yards out. The running back has carried the ball 12 times for 43 yards today. Abanikanda is only 22 years old but already in his third season, playing for his third team after stints with the Jets and 49ers. Q3 10:36 - Dolphins 14, Lions 14 Rookie QB Quinn Ewers connects with Theo Wease Jr. for a 15-yard touchdown, tying this game up. Getty Images Coming out of Philly, the Browns have to be concerned with: Overall offensive firepower CB depth OL depth That said, they have to be most pleased with the pass rush. I have no idea how the last 8-10 roster spots will shake out. Guessing they'll keep all 4 QBs. Eagles CB A.J. Woods is leaving the sideline on a cart. Q3 4:14 - Browns 19, Eagles 13 The offenses have been rough to watch in the second half, tallying five punts and of course the pick six a few minutes ago. Tyler Huntley and the Browns offense are back on the field. Getty Images After Daniel Jones led the Colts' first two drives of the day and Anthony Richardson took over for the rest of the first half, Riley Leonard is now in at quarterback. Here's how the two men competing for the starting job fared today: Jones: 7/11 passing, 101 yards 7/11 passing, 101 yards Richardson: 6/11 passing, 73 yards Richardson also rushed for nine yards on one attempt. Neither threw a touchdown or interception. What The Athletic's Colton Pouncy wrote about Isaac TeSlaa ahead of today's game: The more you watch TeSlaa, the more you wonder how much longer he's going to play in these preseason games. Yes, he needs the reps since he isn't getting many with the first-team offense right now. He's far from a finished product, but he's starting to feel increasingly important as time goes on. When the Lions line up for QB-WR throws in warmups, you see TeSlaa catching passes exclusively from Jared Goff. Most of Detroit's top weapons only catch passes from Goff during this period. It is perhaps a sign of what's to come. Not to mention, TeSlaa has impressed in both preseason contests, hauling in his first touchdown vs. the Falcons. As long as he's out there, he's must-see TV if you're a Lions fan. Q3 8:47 - Patriots 14, Vikings 6 Max Bosmer leads Minnesota on a 12-play, 48-yard drive that ends with a 54-yard field goal from Will Reichard. The Vikings did not score until the final moments of the first half but now only trail by eight points. Q3 10:59 - Browns 19, Eagles 13 Philadelphia had a pick-six in the first half and Cleveland just returned the favor. Dorian Thompson-Robinson gets crushed as he throws and the ball floats a couple feet directly to KJ Henry, who takes it back 45 yards for the score. That was a disastrous sequence for DTR. Getty Images Two games have just reached halftime: Colts 13, Packers 3 Lions 14, Dolphins 7 And the other three have just begun their third quarter: Patriots 14, Vikings 3 Eagles 13, Browns 12 Texans 10, Panthers 3 Q2 0:30 - Lions 14, Dolphins 7 Isaac TeSlaa makes an incredible contested catch for an 18-yard touchdown from Kyle Allen. Q3 15:00 - Eagles 13, Browns 12 The second half is underway in Philadelphia with Kyle McCord and the Eagles offense on the field. Q2 1:04 - Colts 13, Packers 0 Anthony Richardson shakes off a pass rusher and launches the ball downfield to Anthony Gould, completing the pass for 38 yards. Much to the quarterback's chagrin, however, the play is negated by an offensive offside penalty by Adonai Mitchell. If the Packers only take three RBs, which I expect, plays like that fourth-down sack of Zach Wilson are why Chris Brooks might make it over Emanuel Wilson. Poor pass pro rep from Wilson led to the sack. Jacobs and Lloyd are locks. If you need a pass-protecting RB3, Brooks is your guy. Q2 1:50 - Dolphins 7, Lions 7 The Dolphins go for it on fourth-and-4 from the Lions' 9-yard line, but Isaac Ukwu sacks Zach Wilson to force a turnover on downs. Getty Images Halftime - Patriots 14, Vikings 3 We've also reached halftime in Minnesota as the Vikings finally get on the board. Brett Rypien drives the offense 53 yards on seven plays, setting up a 34-yard field goal from Will Reichard.

J.J. McCarthy leads scoring drive in brief return for Vikings
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — J.J. McCarthy's return was short and solid for the Minnesota Vikings. The quarterback, who missed all of his rookie season after tearing the meniscus in his right knee in last year's preseason opener, led a scoring drive in his only series against the Houston Texans on Saturday. McCarthy finished 4 of 7 for 30 yards on a 13-play, 58-yard scoring drive that was capped by Will Reichard's 48-yard field goal. The 10th overall pick out of Michigan last year also scampered 8 yards for a first down on fourth-and-4 at the Texans 43 to keep the drive going. The performance came a day shy of the one-year anniversary of McCarthy's ill-fated Vikings debut. In that game, he threw for 188 yards and two touchdowns before suffering the injury that required season-ending surgery. With Sam Darnold under center, the Vikings finished the regular season 14-3 before falling to the Los Angeles Rams in the wild-card round of the NFC playoffs. But Darnold departed for the Seattle Seahawks this offseason in free agency and head coach Kevin O'Connell has turned the offense over to McCarthy. The quarterback received a rousing ovation from the home crowd as he stepped under center for the first time Saturday. The Texans then took a 10-3 lead on a 14-yard touchdown pass from Davis Mills to Braxton Berrios on their first possession. McCarthy was replaced by backup Sam Howell when Minnesota's offense took the field for its second possession. — AP NFL: The Associated Press
