Can the Houston get back to .500 with a win on Sunday? They’re going to try to gain ground in the division and the AFC playoff race as they welcome the Denver Broncos to NRG Stadium.
Denver enters Sunday’s matchup coming off a dominant win over the Dallas Cowboys, but will be short-handed in the secondary with All-Pro cornerback Patrick Surtain II sidelined. Meanwhile, the Texans are gaining back both Nico Collins and Christian Kirk, who missed last week’s win over the San Francisco 49ers because of a concussion and hamstring injury, respectively.
Kevin Kugler (play-by-play) and Daryl Johnston (analyst) will call the game for Fox with Allison Williams reporting from the sidelines. On the radio, the game will be locally broadcasted on SportsRadio610
Fans in the blue areas on the map below will get the Broncos–Texans game on their local Fox channels, according to 506sports.com.
Denver leads the all-time series against Houston 6-4, but the Texans won the most recent matchup 22-17 at home in 2023. The Broncos hold the longest active winning streak in the NFL (five games), but they are considered slight underdogs in Week 9.
