The Houston Texans vs. Pittsburgh Steelers NFL preseason game will be played tonight. Steelers fans will have to wait to see quarterback Russell Wilson in action for the first time since joining the Steelers in the spring, but they’re likely to see quarterback Justin Fields, recently traded from the Chicago Bears, starting tonight.

Keep reading to find out how and when to watch the Houston Texans vs. Pittsburgh Steelers game tonight, even if you don’t have cable. 


How and when to watch the Houston Texans vs. Pittsburgh Steelers game

The Houston Texans vs. Pittsburgh Steelers game will be played on Friday, Aug. 9, 2024 at 7:00 p.m. ET (4:00 p.m. PT). The NFL preseason game will air on NFL Network, and stream on Sling TV and the platforms featured below.


How and when to watch the Houston Texans vs. Pittsburgh Steelers game without cable

While many cable packages include NFL Network, it’s easy to watch the game if NFL Network isn’t included in your cable TV subscription, or if you don’t have cable at all. Your best options for watching are below. (Streaming options will require an internet provider.)

Sling TV is the most cost-effective way to stream the Houston Texans vs. Pittsburgh Steelers game

If you don’t have cable TV that includes NFL Network, one of the most cost-effective ways to watch tonight’s game, and all the major sporting events happening this fall, is through a subscription to Sling TV. To watch the NFL Network on Sling TV, you’ll need a subscription to the Orange tier or the Blue tier. We suggest leveling up your coverage to get more NFL games this fall with the Orange + Blue tier.

That Orange + Blue plan normally costs $60 per month, but the streamer currently offers a half-off promotion for your first month, so you’ll pay just $30. For the least expensive Olympic-watching option, the Blue plan includes the channels NBC, USA and E!, starting at $45 per month ($22.50 for your first month). 

The streamer is also currently offering big savings on four months of the Orange + Blue tier plus the Sports Extra plan when you prepay for the Sling TV Season Pass. The Sports Extra plan includes Golf Channel and Big Ten Network among others. Prepay for four months of the Sling TV Season Pass and spend $219, reduced from $300.

Because Sling TV does not carry CBS, Sling subscribers will want to add Paramount+ to their bundle.

Note: CBS Essentials and Paramount+ are both subsidiaries of Paramount Global.

Top features of Sling TV Orange + Blue plan:

  • Sling TV is our top choice for streaming major sporting events like NASCAR.
  • There are 46 channels to watch in total, including local NBC, Fox and ABC affiliates (where available).

House Ethics Committee planned to vote Friday on whether to release report on Matt Gaetz

The House Ethics Committee, which has been conducting an investigation into sexual misconduct and obstruction allegations against Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida, scheduled a vote for Friday on whether to release its report, according to three sources with knowledge of the committee’s work. 

Hours after President-elect Donald Trump said he planned to nominate Gaetz to be attorney general, Gaetz resigned his congressional seat, effective immediately. 

“I do not intend to take the oath of office for the same office in the 119th Congress, to pursue the position of Attorney General in the Trump Administration,” Gaetz said in his resignation letter obtained by CBS News 

House Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters that there was about an eight-week period during which Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis could fill his seat by setting the date for a special election.

Now that Gaetz has resigned, it is unclear whether the panel will vote on releasing the report, since Gaetz is no longer in Congress.

There is precedent in Congress on the Senate side for an ethics committee report to become public after a member resigns from Congress, however. In 2011, this happened when Sen. John Ensign of Nevada resigned amid allegations that he tried to hide an extramarital affair.

But it’s not clear that that would apply to the House, leaving open the possibility that the report on Gaetz would not be released. 

In June, the House Ethics Committee released a statement saying it was investigating a range of allegations against Gaetz, including sexual misconduct, illicit drug use, and bribery.  

Multiple sources at the time told CBS News that four women had informed the House Ethics Committee that they had been paid to go to parties that included sex and drugs, and that Gaetz had also attended. The committee has Gaetz’s Venmo transactions that allegedly show payments for the women. 

Gaetz has repeatedly denied wrongdoing and has called the committee’s investigation a “frivolous” smear campaign.

Some of the allegations of sexual misconduct under review by the committee were also the subject of a previous Department of Justice probe into Gaetz.  Federal investigators sought to determine if Gaetz violated sex trafficking and obstruction of justice laws, but no charges were filed.  

The House Ethics Committee resumed its investigation into Gaetz in 2023, following the Justice Department’s decision not to pursue charges against him.  

Gaetz has long blamed then-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, also a Republican, for the probe. And Gaetz later led the movement to sack McCarthy as speaker.
