Watch Browns vs. Texans NFL Week 16 Livestream Online Today

Paramount Plus offers a $6 alternative for AFC fans to watch the Browns-Texans game on CBS without cable.

If you're a fan of the AFC and are looking for a cheap alternative to watch the games on Sunday, Paramount Plus Essentials might just be the answer for you. With the 8-6 Texans vying for the AFC South crown and a Wild Card berth, the game against the Browns is one you won't want to miss. However, with rookie superstar quarterback C.J. Stroud potentially out due to a concussion, it's important to know how to watch the game, especially if it's not available on your local CBS channel.

The game is set to kick off at 1 p.m. ET (10 a.m. PT) on CBS, and will be shown on TV in the Cleveland and Houston areas. However, if you find yourself blocked from watching the game due to an internet location glitch, or simply want an added layer of privacy for streaming, a virtual private network (VPN) might be the solution. Using a VPN can allow you to watch the game from anywhere in the US, and can also prevent your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic.

If you're unable to view the game locally due to incorrectly applied blackout restrictions, a VPN can help you virtually change your location to gain access to the game. It's important to note that using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you're streaming. However, it's crucial to ensure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks and avoid termination of your account by the streaming service.

In addition to a VPN, you'll need a live TV streaming service that carries a local CBS affiliate broadcasting the game. Paramount Plus is the least expensive option, but other services like YouTube TV, Hulu Plus Live TV, DirecTV Stream, and Fubo also carry local CBS stations. Alternatively, if you live in an area where the game is being broadcast, an over-the-air antenna connected to your TV provides another option for CBS without any streaming or monthly fees.

So, whether you're a Texans or Browns fan, or just a football enthusiast in general, Paramount Plus Essentials combined with a VPN might be the perfect solution for watching the game this Sunday. Don't miss out on the action - make sure you're ready to tune in and cheer on your favorite team!
