HOUSTON -- The red-hot Houston Texans have caught the eye of the "Sunday Night Football" schedulers.
Houston's home game against the New England Patriots on Dec. 13 will be moved to 8:30 p.m. ET and air on NBC. The game was originally scheduled to be a 1 p.m. ET kickoff.
That week's Sunday night game was supposed to be Seattle at Baltimore, but the Ravens are 3-7 and the Seahawks are in NFC contention, but are a disappointing 6-5. That game will now be played in the afternoon.
Although the Texans are also 6-5, they are on a four-game winning streak and are in contention to win their division.
