The game is scheduled to start at 8:20 p.m. ET and will be broadcast nationally on Fox. If you don’t have cable or can’t get to a TV, you can still watch a live stream of the game (or DVR it) on your computer, phone or streaming device by signing up for one of the following cable-free, live-TV streaming services:
Fox (live in all 32 NFL markets) is included in FuboTV’s main package, which includes 75-plus total channels and is largely tailored towards sports fans. You can sign up for a free 7-day trial right here, and you can then watch a live stream of the game on your computer via the FuboTV website, or on your tablet or streaming device via the FuboTV app.
If you can’t watch live, FuboTV comes with 30 hours of Cloud DVR (with the ability to upgrade to 500 hours), as well as a handy “72-Hour Lookback” feature, which will allow you to watch the game on-demand up to three days after it airs even if you forgot to record it.
In addition to their extensive Netflix-like streaming library, Hulu now also offers a bundle of 50-plus live TV channels, including Fox (live in all 32 NFL markets). You can sign up for “Hulu with Live TV” right here, and you can then watch a live stream of the game on your computer via the Hulu website, or on your tablet or streaming device via the Hulu app.
If you can’t watch live, “Hulu with Live TV” also comes with 50 hours of Cloud DVR storage (with the ability to upgrade to “Enhanced Cloud DVR,” which gives you 200 hours of DVR space and the ability to fast forward through commercials).
Fox (live in 17 NFL markets) is included in the “Sling Blue” channel package. You can sign up for a free 7-day trial, and you can then watch a live stream of the game on your computer via the Sling TV website, or on your tablet or streaming device via the Sling TV app.

Chargers vs Chiefs Preview
For The Chiefs, win and clinch a first-round bye in the playoffs. If The Chargers win, they will clinch a playoff berth and remain alive for a division title.
Doing so will not be easy, as the Chargers have dropped nine straight games to the Chiefs. Way back in Week 1, Mahomes tosses four touchdown passes, leading the Chiefs to a 38-28 road victory against their “rivals.”
Chargers running back Melvin Gordon will be carefully monitored if he is able to play on Thursday, which isn’t looking likely based on pregame reports. Head coach Anthony Lynn, like how the coaching staff worked with Joey Bosa, continues to closely work with Gordon.
“The first couple of weeks we kind of monitored his play count and last week we just turned him loose and now he’s back at his normal rotation. But I just believe he’s getting better every game. It can’t do nothing but help our defense and our football team.”
Eric Berry has not played for Kansas City since Week 1 of the 2017 season. Early Thursday, ESPN’s Adam Schefter first reported Berry, who ruptured his Achilles was rehabbing for the better part of almost a year-and-a-half, is set to return for the Chiefs.
