How to watch Bills-Texans for free on Thursday Night Football

11 weeks into the 2025 NFL season and the AFC playoff picture is anything but clear.

That’s especially true for both the 7-3 Buffalo Bills who are visiting the 5-5 Houston Texans at NRG Stadium tonight for a high-stakes Thursday Night Football showdown.

The hometown Texans are currently riding a surprise two-game win streak behind backup quarterback Davis Mills who is getting minutes in the wake of starter CJ Stroud’s injury. At the time of publication, the 24-year-old is yet to clear concussion protocol. Another dub here would be huge for the club.

Josh Allen’s Bills are coming off a statement 44-32 victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers; the week before, they shockingly fell to the Dolphins. “It sucks losing,” Allen, 29, said. “But knowing in the losses this year, we’ve turned the ball over. And that’s pointing the thumb directly at myself. If we take care of the football we are a good football team.”
