How to watch Bills vs. Texans in Week 12 locally if you don't have Prime

The Buffalo Bills are on the road following a short week as they take on the Houston Texans on Thursday Night Football.

It's a rematch from one year ago when the Texans shocked Buffalo in a 23-20 victory. The Bills want to get a measure of revenge and are coming off a big win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last weekend.

The Bills are now 7-3, and trying to keep pace with the New England Patriots (9-2). Houston, meanwhile, has struggled for much of the year and comes in with a record of 5-5. Buffalo should have the advantage with Davis Mills starting due to C.J. Stroud being in concussion protocol, but this is still a team that can be dangerous thanks to their imposing defensive line.

With that said, let's see how fans can catch the action.
