Texans vs. Colts: Time, TV schedule and streaming info for Week 12

The Houston Texans and the Indianapolis Colts square off for a Week 12 encounter on Thursday Night Football. Find out how to watch the game.

The Houston Texans can quickly get the taste of Week 11’s 41-7 loss to the Baltimore Ravens out of their mouths as they host the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday Night Football to kickoff Week 12.

One of the perils of facing the Colts on such a short week is the lack of prep time that comes with a Thursday night game, and the fact it is a very consequential matchup as the Texans have to prevent being swept by the Colts. Indianapolis currently holds the tiebreaker over Houston with a 30-23 win in Week 7 at Lucas Oil Stadium. A win would propel the Colts to 7-4 and drop the Texans to 6-5, almost a two-game swing because of the tiebreaker the Colts would have over the Texans.

Houston may be without safety Justin Reid due to a concussion, but they will have quarterback Deshaun Watson, who suffered an ankle injury in the loss at the Ravens. However, Reid has appeared as not having participated in practice the past two days while Watson has been a full participant.

The Colts are in a similar boat and may be without the services of running back Marlon Mack, who had a hand procedure on Monday to fix his fractured hand. Even on a regular week, it would be iffy to overcome that. On a Thursday night week, it is almost impossible.

4 Broncos squads make NFL’s list of 100 greatest teams

John Elway and Peyton Manning quarterbacked the four Broncos squads that made the NFL’s list of 100 greatest teams in league history.

In celebration of the league’s 100 years, the Associated Press created a list of the 100 greatest teams in NFL history and NFL Network put together a countdown series based on the list.

Four Denver Broncos teams made the cut.

Coming in at No. 86 on the list is the 2013 Broncos, a team that smashed offensive records in the regular season but suffered an embarrassing loss in the Super Bowl.

Denver’s 2015 team is ranked No. 58, which many Broncos fans would say is too low. It’s a fitting number, though, given that outside linebacker Von Miller wore No. 58 when he earned MVP honors in Super Bowl 50.

Just nine spots up in the rankings from the 2013 squad, Denver’s 1997 team is ranked No. 50. Again, many Broncos fans probably feel that’s too low.

It’s no surprise that Denver’s highest-ranked squad is the 1998 team, which started the year 13-0 on the way to a convincing Super Bowl win. That team is ranked No. 14 on the list.

How to Watch Steelers vs. Browns, NFL Week 11 Live Stream, Schedule, TV Channel, Start Time

Watch Steelers vs. Browns Live Online.

The Pittsburgh Steelers (5-4) and Cleveland Browns (3-6) meet Thursday night for a primetime AFC North showdown. It’s a rivalry that dates back to 1950 with the Steelers leading the all-time series 75-58-1. That one tie came last year, 21-21, in their first meeting of the season, but Pittsburgh won the next round, 33-18, at home. Both teams are in the middle of the standings and can inch closer to the Ravens with a victory.

A 1-4 start and Ben Roethlisberger, the face of the franchise, out with a season-ending injury wasn’t exactly what Steeler Nation had envisioned to begin the season. However, Pittsburgh has turned things around and has won its last four games, including a 17-12 victory over the Rams. Mason Rudolph threw for 242 yards and one touchdown. James Washington led the team with six catches for 90 yards and one touchdown. The Steelers are averaging just over 21 points per game but rank near the bottom in total yards, passing yards and rushing yards per game. That didn’t stop coach Mike Tomlin, who made a gutsy 4th and 1 call with the team leading 14-12. That confidence may be the spark they needed for a shot at the playoffs.

Defensively, Rams quarterback Jared Goff was limited to just 243 yards and two interceptions. The Steelers’ defense sacked Goff four times in the game and forced three turnovers. Mark Barron racked up 10 tackles, while Joe Haden added seven tackles and an interception. Javon Hargrave and T.J. Watt were in Goff’s face throughout the game. Hargrave finished with seven tackles and one sack with Watt adding five tackles and two sacks to the stat sheet. They will face a versatile Browns offense that has playmakers in running back Nick Chubb and wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry.

The Buffalo Bills had a chance to tie the game against the Browns on Sunday, but instead, the field goal attempt missed with 22 seconds left, and Cleveland had a renewed sense of hope for its season. The Browns snapped a four-game losing streak with the 19-16 road win. Baker Mayfield completed 26 of 38 passes for 238 yards and two touchdowns. Nick Chubb rushed for 116 yards, his fourth 100+ yard game this season, which brought his season total to 919 yards– third-best in the NFL. With Kareem Hunt back as well, the Browns have a 1-2 punch at running back. Jarvis Landry led the team with nine catches for 97 yards, while Odell Beckham Jr. added five more for 57 yards.

Cleveland’s defense held Josh Allen to 266 yards passing and no touchdowns. The Browns rank seventh in the NFL against the pass. Myles Garrett has racked up ten sacks and will look to attack a weak offensive line for the Steelers, much the same away Aaron Donald and the Rams did a week ago.

WATCH: Cam Newton is reportedly open to joining Chicago Bears next season

Cam Newton plans to have surgery on his foot and that the career-long Panther would be open to joining the Chicago Bears next season.

A little more than a week after the Panthers placed Cam Newton on injured reserve, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport is reporting that the quarterback plans to have surgery on his foot and that the career-long Panther would be open to joining the Chicago Bears next season.

Newton has one year left on his contract with the Panthers after back-to-back offseason shoulder injuries, and now two consecutive seasons shortened by injury. The Panthers will owe Newton $19.1 million in 2020, with a salary-cap hit of $21.1 million, but that $19.1 million is not guaranteed.

The 30-year-old got hurt during the preseason, then again in Week 2 when a foot injury ended his season. Initially, the injury was not seen as being as severe as it became. Deemed a Lisfranc injury, the left foot injury could be made better by surgery to repair the torn ligament in Newton’s foot.

Surgery and an 8-10 week recovery period would make Newton “very tradable,” (according to Rapoport) to a team like the Bears. The plan is something that Rapoport says “from my understanding, Cam Newton would in fact welcome.”

Bears head coach Matt Nagy is in need of improvement at the quarterback position. Mitchell Trubisky, who the franchise drafted second overall in 2017, has regressed this season.

NFL announces date, time and TV channel for Broncos’ game vs. Lions

The NFL has announced the date, time and television channel for the Broncos’ Week 16 game against the Lions.

When the NFL announced the Denver Broncos2019 schedule in April, the date, time and television channel for the team’s Week 16 showdown with the Detroit Lions was listed as “to be determined.”

Four other games that week — Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Houston Texans, New England Patriots vs. Buffalo Bills, San Francisco 49ers vs. Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Chargers vs. Oakland Raiders — were also listed as TBD.

The NFL wanted to wait and see how those teams started the season before deciding which games would be nationally televised on NFL Network on Saturday and which games would air on CBS on Sunday.

The league announced finalized dates, times and channels Tuesday.

After Denver started 3-6 and Detriot started 3-5-1, their showdown has been scheduled for Sunday, Dec. 22 at 2:05 p.m. MT on CBS. So unless the Broncos are flexed into “Sunday Night Football” between Weeks 13-15 or in Week 17, all of the team’s seven remaining games will air on CBS.

Houston (6-3) at Tampa Bay (3-6) will air on NFL Network on Saturday, Dec. 21 at 11:00 a.m. MT. Buffalo (6-3) at New England (8-1) will also air on NFLN on Dec. 21 at 2:30 p.m. MT and the Rams (5-4) at San Francisco (8-1) will air on NFLN that same day at 6:15 p.m. MT.

Oakland (5-4) against the Chargers (4-6) will air on CBS on Sunday, Dec. 22 at 2:05 p.m. MT, the same time as the Denver-Detriot contest.

Doug Marrone just discovered the RedZone channel, and it blew his mind

Doug Marrone made a shocking discovery this past weekend when he got to sit down and watch NFL Network’s RedZone for the first time.

With the Jacksonville Jaguars having to claw for all of their victories while also dealing with the absence of Nick Foles, the trade of Jalen Ramsey and the emergence of Gardner Minshew II, it’s easy to see why coach Doug Marrone hasn’t had a lot of time to watch television. However, with the Jags on their bye week last week, he got a chance to check out the rest of the league’s teams.

In the process, he discovered NFL Network’s RedZone channel, which blew his mind.

“Well, I’ll tell you, yesterday was the first time I was able to kind of watch some stuff, and I don’t normally do it,” Marrone said about the upsets that happened during Week 10. “But I got around and I watched that NFL Network RedZone. That stuff’s crazy. It goes from game to game to game. It was crazy. I didn’t know they had that stuff.”

Yes, Coach, I completely agree, NFL RedZone is indeed crazy. It’s also been around for 10 years.

Marrone continued by stating that the upsets he witnessed Sunday are proof that each NFL organization has to bring it week in and week out. Heading forward, that will also need to be a point of emphasis for the Jags, who can’t afford to slip up like they did several times before the bye week.

“I think it goes back to the same thing I said before, I think that it is extremely difficult to win on Sundays,” Marrone said. “I know sometimes you look at it, and you look at records and all this stuff, and you’re like, ‘Well, this team should win,’ and then all of a sudden at the end of the day, get a couple turnovers, this happens and the next thing you know a team that you thought should win on paper doesn’t win.”

Unfortunately for Marrone, Sunday was probably the only time he’ll get to use his RedZone subscription this year as there is a lot of work for the Jags to do.
