Week 3 of the NFL season kicks off with a battle of two undefeated teams as the New England Patriots battle the Houston Texans. Despite being decimated by injuries as well as a 4-game suspension to quarterback Tom Brady, the Patriots have continued their winning ways with victories over the Cardinals and the Dolphins. That could change as they prepare to take on J.J. Watt and the dominating Texans defense. Week 3 of the NFL season begins tonight!

WHAT TIME DOES THE NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS VS. HOUSTON TEXANS GAME START?

The Texans and Patriots will kick off at 8:25 P.M. Eastern.

HOW DO I LIVE STREAM THE HOUSTON TEXANS AND NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS GAME?

The Texans/Pats game is being broadcast on CBS, which means that the game will also be available to live stream via the CBS Sports app if you are a current cable subscriber. Due to current restrictions, NFL games broadcast on CBS are NOT shown on CBS All Access, CBS’s streaming platform.
Twitter will be streaming a number of Thursday night games this year, continuing with tonight’s Patriots/Texans matchup! You can live stream the game live by visiting Tnf.Twitter.com, or downloading the apps for Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV or XBox One. Why is this exciting news? It’s one of the rare occasions where you don’t need to be a cable subscriber (or ~~steal~~ borrow someone else’s password) to live stream sports. That’s right, free NFL live streams for everyone! Viva la revolution!
Another possibility for fans is PlayStation Vue. Subscribers to their ‘Access’ basic cable streaming service have access to CBS, though channel lineups vary by region.
