MORE: Follow Eagles-Texans with TSN's live blog That trend should continue into Week 9. Well, at least for one of the teams in action. The Eagles are set to play the Texans on "Thursday Night Football" as they look to remain unbeaten. The Eagles sport one of the NFL's best and most efficient offenses and enter Thursday's game heavily favored to beat Houston. Philadelphia and Houston haven't played since the 2018 season, when Doug Pederson was coaching the Eagles and Bill O'Brien was in charge of the Texans. The Eagles won that game 32-30 and hold an all-time record of 5-0 in the series.

The Eagles (7-0) are traveling to Houston (1-5-1) to play the Texans in Week 9 of the 2022 NFL season. Philadelphia will look to stay unbeaten on the short week after handing the Steelers an impressive 35-13 defeat in Week 8. The Eagles have the NFL's third-best offense in terms of total yardage (395.4 per game) and are averaging 28 points per game (also third-best in the league). They figure to match up well against the Texans, especially since they sport a strong running game while Houston has the NFL's worst run defense. Jalen Hurts has been one of the most efficient quarterbacks in the NFL, and he is a threat with his legs. He could be uniquely difficult for the Texans' defense to contain. Speaking of the Texans, they have largely kept their games close this season despite their record. They have lost by more than one score just twice, as Lovie Smith's defense has largely performed well in 2022. Houston's offense is a bit shakier. Second-year quarterback Davis Mills has struggled with turnovers at times and outside of Dameon Pierce, the offense hasn't been very consistent. They will have their work cut out for them against a Philadelphia defense that has allowed the fourth-fewest yards per game this season. What time is the NFL game tonight?
