How to Watch Texans-Bengals NFL Thursday Night Football Live Stream Online

Week 2 of the NFL season begins Thursday night with a matchup of teams looking to get in the win column. The Houston Texans head north for a meeting with the Cincinnati Bengals — in an AFC battle between squads who got off to a horrific start last week.

The Texans were drubbed at home by Jacksonville in Week 1. Rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson threw for a touchdown, but that was the lone highlight for the Texans — who had few answers for the Jaguars on either end. Watson is expected to get the nod under center over Tom Savage, who got the call last week.

Cincinnati lost in blowout fashion themselves this past Sunday. The Bengals have not only yet to win this season, they’ve yet to even score — as they fell to the Ravens 20-0. The Bengals offense simply must find a way to get things going against a Texans defense which yielded some points in Week 1, but has some of the league’s best defensive personnel.

Kickoff is at 8:26 p.m. ET. The game will be broadcast on the NFL Network, which will stream the action on its website. NBC’s Tirico and Cris Collinsworth have the call.  Use the NFL Mobile app to watch on your phone or tablet. That app can be downloaded from the Apple’s iTunes Store, and the Google Play store. A cable subscription is required for the free stream.
