NFL Week 8: How to watch, live stream the Texans and Seahawks on CBS All Access
CBS All Access allows viewers to stream every NFL on CBS game in their local market
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.

Texans and Seahawks on CBS All Access
The Seahawks and Texans are also fighting for divisional standing heading into this game, dealing with pesky teams in their division that have surprised a lot of people. For the Seahawks, the Rams have emerged as a serious threat in the NFC West, whereas for the Texans the Titans and Jaguars are first in the AFC South with Houston hot on their tails. The Seahawks are trying to tie the Rams, who have a bye this week. The Texans are currently 3-3, half a game back of their divisional rivals.
The Texans have alternated wins and losses all season, and coming off of a win against the Browns they'll look to break that streak. After a slow start against the Giants, the Seahawks were able to beat them handily behind a strong second half. For the Texans, this game marks the end of left tackle Duane Brown's holdout, which should be huge for rookie Deshaun Watson. This is a game that the Seahawks need to win. They're playing at home against a team that they don't see often, so it's a perfect opportunity to close up the gap in the NFC West.
