Want to watch the NFL on CBS but don't have cable? CBS All Access has partnered with the NFL so you can stream local market games each Sunday to your computer, tablet or OTT device. It's a concerted effort to allow viewers to watch football wherever they're at, all without needing a cable or satellite subscription (or even a television) in your local market.

Obviously CBS All Access is about more than streaming football (although it doesn't have to be). For as low as $5.99 a month, the service allows subscribers to stream hundreds of hit shows. The real benefit, however, lies in being able to watch CBS live wherever you are. If you got roped into a wedding, you're stuck at a baby shower or you're just a good mom or dad and want to be at your kid's soccer game on Sunday, you can stream games directly to your tablet or laptop.

Patriots vs. Buccaneers on CBS All Access

The New England Patriots bring their league-worst defense to Tampa Bay, where the Buccaneers will be hoping to fire the cannons early and often. It's hard to say exactly where the problem is for New England. Maybe it's lack of pressure, maybe it's Stephon Gilmore not being up to snuff, maybe it's a combination. Whatever the case, Matt Patricia will try to bring his defense back against the 2-1 Buccaneers, who are coming off of a thrilling win against the New York Giants.

The Buccaneers are welcoming Doug Martin back into the fold after his four-game suspension. The Buccaneers are currently 12th in the NFL in points per game and ninth in yards, but Mike Evans and DeSean Jackson may be able to have big days against the struggling Patriots secondary.
