Monday Night Football: Texans vs. Watching Cowboys, ManningCast tonight
When can you watch the Houston Texans vs. Want to watch Dallas Cowboys?
- Monday, November 18 at 8:15 PM ET (5:15 PM PT).
Where to watch:
- The Texans-Cowboys game will be shown on ABC and ESPN.
CeeDee Lamb doesn’t want Dak Prescott throwing the ball to him tonight, but at least he won’t be blinded by the sun when he tries to catch passes from Cooper Rush in primetime tonight. At 3-6 and with their starting quarterback out for the year, the Cowboys’ season appears to be over.
The Texans have hit a bump in the road as they try to repeat as AFC South champions and return to the playoffs. They have lost two in a row and three of their last four, but are still in first place in the division at 6-4. And CJ Stroud should get his favorite target, Nico Collins, back in time for tonight’s game. Collins has been sidelined since early October with a hamstring injury and still leads the team in receiving yards.
The Texans and Cowboys kick off tonight at 8:15 PM ET (5:15 PM PT) on ABC and ESPN. You can switch to ESPN2 during the game to watch the ManningCast with brothers Peyton and Eli, the popular alternative broadcast in which the former NFL greats analyze the game and chat with different guests every week.
If you don’t have a cable or satellite TV subscription, you can watch Monday Night Football via a live TV streaming service. The good news for football fans is that ESPN is available on all five major streaming services.
CJ Stroud and the Houston Texans face the Dallas Cowboys tonight on Monday Night Football.
