Texans vs. Patriots game today: Watch NFL Week 6 for free in the live stream

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The Houston Texans travel north to New England to take on the Patriots today. It begins airing at 1 p.m. Eastern Time on CBS and Paramount+.

Several streaming services will broadcast the game live, and you can watch it on Fubo (free trial and $20 off your first month), DirecTV Stream (free trial), Paramount+ (free trial), and Sling (promotional offers).

Today, Sunday October 13th, two interesting teams meet as they are on completely opposite ends of the spectrum. Houston earned its fourth win of Week 5 over Buffalo, tying the third-best record in the NFL.

New England’s only win to date came against Cincinnati in Week 1, although they are also one of seven teams with a win to that point. They started veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett for the first five games.

However, recent reports suggest they will select third overall Drake Maye from North Carolina in Week 6 against Houston. He only appeared in the Week 3 loss to the Jets and completed four of his eight passes for 22 yards.

Check out a complete look at NFL action in Week 6, including schedule, predictions, previews, TV info and more.

Texans – Patriots matchup preview

The Texans picked up another victory over Buffalo in Week 5 by turning to Ka’imi Fairbairn for the 59-yard field goal as time expired. CJ Stroud amassed 331 passing yards for one touchdown and one interception, marking the second time this season that no receiver reached 100 or more receiving yards. The defense played well in the first half, limiting Buffalo to three points in the first half, but it’s hard to stifle one of the best offenses as long as they gave up 17 points in the second half.

The Patriots are one of seven teams with a win in the NFL. So why not try out the rookie you picked in April this year? Drake Maye only has four completions in one game, but the sooner you play him, the better he can get.

As for other team members, the loss to Miami in Week 5 was the second one-possession loss they suffered this season. The defense hasn’t been this strong since Week 1, ranking in the bottom 10 in yards per game allowed (357.0). Then-running back Rhamondre Stevenson, who had 120 rushing yards in Week 1, has still topped 100 since that game. It’s been an interesting season for New England.
