Patriots Vs. Vikings Preview: NESN ‘Pregame Chat’ Breaks Down Week 13 Matchup

The New England Patriots face a tough test Sunday afternoon at Gillette Stadium when they welcome Kirk Cousins, Adam Thielen and the Minnesota Vikings to Foxboro, Mass.

New England is coming off a ho-hum win over the New York Jets in Week 12, while the Vikings vanquished the division rival Green Bay Packers last week.

Minnesota currently sits in second place in the NFC North at 6-4-1, but the Vikings have played one of the toughest schedules in the NFL. Mike Zimmer’s club boasts one of the fiercest defenses in the league, so it will be a tall task for Tom Brady and Co. to overcome Sunday afternoon.

We’ve got you covered for this intriguing Week 13 matchup, with former New England linebacker and three-time Super Bowl champion Matt Chatham joining NESN.com’s Doug Kyed and Zack Cox to preview Pats-Vikings in our “Pregame Chat” show.

The show airs live on Facebook at 2:15 p.m. ET, and you can check it out in the video player above.
