What channel is Lions vs. Texans on today? Time, TV schedule, live stream to watch NFL Week 3 preseason game
The Texans (1-1) head north to Ford Field for a Saturday showdown with the Lions (1-2).
Detroit’s preseason ride has been a bit of a roller coaster, dropping games to the Los Angeles Chargers and Miami Dolphins before squeezing out a shortened win over the Atlanta Falcons.
With the exhibition slate winding down, it’s the last curtain call for Kyle Allen and Hendon Hooker to show they’ve got the chops to hold down the No. 2 job behind Jared Goff.
On the flip side, Houston has been walking the middle line this preseason, splitting their first two contests. The Texans did come off a 17-point rout last week, flashing some offensive spark while averaging 15 points per outing through the opening games. Now comes another chance to prove whether that firepower is for real or just a preseason mirage.

Denver, CO
The Denver Broncos have officially welcomed back franchise legend Peyton Manning as a co-owner, marking one of the most significant cultural and strategic moves in recent NFL history. Manning’s presence signals a new chapter at Mile High.
Manning, who led Denver to a Super Bowl 50 championship, now transitions from quarterback to boardroom leader. Team officials praised his unmatched football intelligence, leadership qualities, and deep connection to Broncos Country as central to the decision.
For the franchise, the move symbolizes stability and continuity. Manning is not only investing financially, but also serving as a cultural anchor, ensuring the Broncos remain committed to accountability, unity, and championship standards both on and off the field.
Speaking to reporters, Manning emphasized his commitment: “Denver gave me a second chapter in football and the perfect ending to my career. I’m here to protect that legacy and help guide the Broncos into the future.”
His reputation as one of the NFL’s sharpest minds makes his addition especially powerful. Manning’s transition into ownership follows a growing league trend where legendary players use experience and credibility to shape organizational direction.
Broncos executives underlined his ability to connect with fans, players, and coaches alike. Manning’s involvement as co-owner is expected to deepen trust within the community, reinforcing Denver’s unique identity and passionate bond with Broncos Country.
For supporters, his return means more than nostalgia. It assures that leadership remains in the hands of someone who understands what it takes to win in Denver, on the field and in the culture surrounding the team.
As the 2025 season approaches, Manning’s appointment marks a turning point for the franchise. The Broncos are betting that their most respected icon can guide them toward renewed dominance, carrying the torch for generations to come.
