The divisional round of the NFL playoffs continues today. First, the Houston Texans and New England Patriots face off in Foxboro starting at 3pm ET (12pm PT) on ABC/ESPN and ESPN Unlimited With Joe Buck and Troy Aikman calling the game. The red, white and blue uniforms aren’t the only thing these two teams have in common. They each have a great defense and a young leader leading the offense, with CJ Stroud in his third year with the Texans and Drake Maye in his second campaign for the Pats.
Next, we head to Chicago for an NFC showdown between the Bears and LA Rams starting at 6:30 PM ET (3:30 PM PT) on NBC and Peacock With Mike Tirico and Chris Collinsworth on the call. This game will be a study in the contrasts at quarterback between the Rams’ steady veteran Matthew Stafford and the manic, off-script style of Caleb Williams, who led the Bears to the second round of the playoffs in just his second season.
You can use the ESPN Unlimited and Peacock streaming services to watch every Sunday game, or you can watch both through a live TV streaming service.

How to watch NFL Divisional Round games
If you don’t want to subscribe to a live TV service, you can watch the Texans-Patriots game with ESPN’s consumer streaming service and the Rams-Bears game with Peacock.
ESPN DTC comes in two flavors. The ESPN Unlimited plan costs $30 per month (or $300 per year) and lets you stream all of ESPN’s linear networks: ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPNNews, ESPN Deportes, SEC Network, and ACC Network. You can also access programming on ESPN on ABC, ESPN Plus, ESPN3, SECN Plus and ACCNX. You’ll need the unlimited plan to watch the Texans-Patriots game on Sunday.
(There’s also a $12-per-month ESPN Select plan that’s like a rebranding of ESPN Plus. It gives you access to thousands of live games — including small college conferences, whose games you can’t watch anywhere else — but not the NFL.)
