Good evening guys, gals, and non-binary pals, and welcome to the Houston Texans’ triumphant return to prime time (flex games notwithstanding).

1,750. That’s how many days it’s been since the Texans made an appearance on Sunday Night Football. For those of you who don’t have a calculator handy, and why would you, the last SNF game the Texans made an appearance in was on December 1, 2019, when what’s-his-face led the Texans at home against Tom Brady and the New England Patriots and came away with a 28-22 win.

It’s been nearly five years. Now, C.J. Stroud’s Flying Circus returns to Houston for their home debut against the Chicago Bears. The Texans are 6.5 point favorites against the Bears, but prime time games have not been the Texan fan’s best friend over the years, so anything can happen.

Anyway, here’s how you can watch/stream/listen to tonight’s prime time tilt.

Chicago Bears (1-0) vs. Houston Texans (1-0), September 15, 2024 7:20 p.m. CDT

Location: NRG Stadium, Houston, TX (but you already knew that)

TV: NBC (KPRC 2)

Radio: SPORTS RADIO 610 | 100.3 THE BULL | MEGA 101

• Don’t troll in your comments; create conversation rather than destroying it
• Remember Battle Red Blog is basically a non-profanity site
• Out of respect to broadcast partners who have paid to carry the game, no mentions of “alternative” (read: illegal) viewing methods are allowed in our threads
• The commenting system was updated during the offseason. They’re still working on optimizing it for Game Day Threads like ours. If you don’t like clicking “Load More Comments”, remember that the “Z” key can be your friend. It loads up the latest comments automatically.

In short, just don’t be a jerk, we’re all trying to have fun here.

And for those of you who want to shell out a bit of coin on today’s game, here are my picks for today’s game, from FanDuel.

Fairly simple reasoning. The Bears are significant underdogs and the Texans are going to be excited for their first SNF game in half a decade; to say nothing of the fact that I don’t trust the Bears defense to dig them out of any holes the Texans might put them in early.

BRB community, this is your thread for today’s game. Enjoy!

Go Texans!
