How to watch today's Houston Texans vs. Cincinnati Bengals game: Livestream options, kickoff time, more
The Houston Texans play the Cincinnati Bengals this weekend for a Week 10 showdown. The 5-3 Bengals are riding high after beating the Buffalo Bills in Week 9. After their Week 10 game against the Texans, the Bengals will do a quick turnaround to prep for their Thursday Night Football matchup against the Baltimore Ravens later this week.
If Joe Burrow and the Bengals think the Texans will be an easy win sandwiched in between two intense matchups, they should watch the Texans Week 9 game highlights. Texans star rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud put on a show during the team's Week 9 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Point is, the Texans vs. Bengals face-off may be the sleeper game of the weekend.
Note: CBS Essentials and Paramount+ are both subsidiaries of Paramount.

Anyone living in partially blocked-off area (those near mountains or first-floor apartments), a digital TV antenna may not pick up a good signal -- or any signal at all. But for many homes, a digital TV antenna provides a seriously inexpensive way to watch college football without paying a cable company. Indoor TV antennas can also provide some much-needed TV backup if a storm knocks out your cable (or your cable company gets in a squabble with a network).
This amplified HDTV antenna, claims to have a 50-mile range and offers 36 channels. It's rated 4.0 stars by Amazon reviewers.
Said one Amazon customer: "When the price of this antenna dropped to $50, it was competitively priced with what you would find on the shelves at your local Radio Shack. If you're considering this product, you're probably already questioning your cable television bill and are looking around for a cheap way to get the Big 3 plus Fox and PBS. This antenna delivered that for us right out of the box."

Storylines we're following this season
Important dates to remember:
- The 2023 NFL regular season runs today through Jan. 7, 2024.
- Playoffs are scheduled for January 13 through Jan. 28, 2004.
- Super Bowl LVIII is scheduled for Feb. 11, 2024 in Las Vegas
What happens in Vegas... Toward the end of the 2022-2023 NFL season, the Las Vegas Raiders benched quarterback Derek Carr before trading him to the New Orleans Saints. Signing former Niners QB Jimmy Garoppolo brought hope to Vegas, Jimmy's Super Bowl experience a bonus for long-suffered Raiders fans. Last week after the team's 3-5 start, owner Marc Davis fired head coach Josh McDaniels, fired GM Dave Ziegler and benched Garoppolo. Superstar wide receiver Davante Adams had previously expressed his disappointment In his production. The Raiders started rookie Aiden O'Connell in Week 9, the team scoring a 30-6 win over the NY Giants giving the Raiders a 4-5 record coming into Week 10. That doesn't bode well for Garoppolo fans, but gives the Raiders a much needed boost halfway into the season.
WAGs in the stands: Pop princess Taylor Swift's very public romance with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce made being a WAG (wives and girlfriends of athletes) cool again. Not since supermodel Gisele Bündchen first starting dating former husband Tom Brady has an athlete's partner garnered so much attention. But with Olympian Simone Biles in the stands (her husband Jonathan Owens plays for the Green Bay Packers) and Bills QB Josh Allen dating Pitch Perfect actress Hailee Steinfeld, what's happening in the stands this season is getting as much as attention as the game on the field.
Good morning, Baltimore. Many hours of NFL sports broadcasts over recent years has been dedicated to arguing the talents (or lack thereof) of Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson. Lamar has always been a dynamic scrambler out of the pocket and this season is no different with Jackson scoring 440 rushing yards, the top for QBs in the NFL. Halfway through the 2023 NFL seaon, Lamar is poised to have the best season of his career. The Ravens are 7-2 coming into Week 10 and MVP chants follow Lamar (again) at every turn. The Ravens might not get the hype of the Chiefs or Eagles, but they're establishing themselves as a Super Bowl contender and Lamar is already making a case to turn those chants into reality.
