The Denver Broncos (6-2) are set to go on the road to face the Houston Texans (3-4) in Week 9 of the 2025 NFL season at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas, on Sunday, Nov. 2. A third Fairbairn field goal gives Houston a 9-7 lead over the Broncos.

Al Michaels (play-by-play) and Kirk Herbstreit (analyst) will call the game for Prime with Kaylee Hartung reporting from the sideline. On the radio, the game will be nationally broadcast on Westwood One and locally broadcast on KOA 850 AM & 94.1 FM.

Denver enters “Thursday Night Football” atop the AFC West, and the Broncos will look to keep pace in a competitive AFC race with a win.

Dylan Von Arx (@DylanVonArxMHH) 7-2: Smith has turned into a pumpkin and Vegas just traded away Meyers for peanuts, leaving Bowers as its only viable pass catcher. If the Broncos offense can be somewhat consistent, their defense will handle the rest.

After making his Denver debut on Sunday, J.T. Gray was cut by the Broncos with an injury designation on Tuesday.

Watch the top highlights from the Broncos' 18-15 win over the Texans in Week 9 as Denver improved to 7-2. Quarterback Bo Nix moves the Broncos into field-goal range with a 25-yard fourth-quarter rush against the Texans.

Without Pat Surtain II, the Broncos and Sean Payton will have their hands full against Raiders tight end Brock Bowers on Thursday Night Football.

It is becoming a familiar script. Denver QB Bo Nix struggled early, but found his rhythm in the fourth quarter for an 18-15 win.

Denver’s fourth-quarter machine is real, plus 60 in nine games, fifth best this century, with Sean Payton’s late-game adjustments nearby.
