WATCH Colts vs. Texans Online Live Stream, NFL 2015 Thursday Night Football Free Coverage

Football's back for the official 2015 NFL season, so get ready, MstarsNews readers!

The Indianapolis Colts take the field against the Houston Texans to continue Week 5 of the regular NFL season on Thursday, October 8 at 8:25 p.m. EST from NRG Stadium in Texas. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the highly-anticipated Thursday night football game online - also catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

In the midst of Week 5, Indianapolis snags a rather neutral spot in ESPN.com's official break-down of all 32 professional teams (power rankings), while Houston still lags a bit behind:

Colts (16): "Does Matt Hasselbeck get Thursday's start against the Texans as well? Andrew Luck is injured, and J.J. Watt has sacked Luck eight times in six games."

Indianapolis heads into Game 5 with a 2-2 winning record and is now 1st in the AFC Southern Division.

Meanwhile...

Texans (28): "Brian Hoyer or Ryan Mallett? Does it even matter? The Texans rank last in completion percentage (52.7) and yards per attempt (5.9)."

And with that, Houston currently maintains a meager 1-3 winning record and falls to 3rd in the same division.

Tonight's highly-anticipated game will be broadcasted live on local sports channels CBS and NFLN.
