Monday Night Football Live Stream: Watch Online Texans Vs. Patriots In An AFC Battle At 8:20 PM ET

Monday Night Football kicks off Week 14 with a battle of a pair of AFC Super Bowl contenders as the New England Patriots play host to the visiting Houston Texans at 8:20 pm ET.

Both teams come into the game on six-game winning streaks and the outcome could go a long way in deciding home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.

The Texans (11-1) and Patriots (9-3) have met only three times before -- once at New England, where Houston lost 40-7 in 2006. In their first franchise playoff appearance last season, Houston came close to earning a date with the Patriots in the AFC title game, but lost to Baltimore in the divisional round.

Matt Schaub leads a balanced Houston attack, completing 64 percent of his passes for 245 yards per game while Arian Foster has added 1,102 rushing yards. Together, the Texans boast the fourth-best offense in the NFL.

Meanwhile, the Patriots have won their last five games by an average score of 43-19 as Tom Brady has been as good as ever. Brady has thrown 25 touchdowns to only four interceptions, and averages 284 passing yards per game.

The Patriots' offense was relatively quiet last weekend, but the team still beat Miami 23-16 to clinch its ninth division title in 10 years. Brady threw his first interception in six games and the Patriots gained a season-low 321 yards, but their 26th-ranked defense held the Dolphins to 277.

A win would pull them within one game of Houston while also giving them the tiebreaker, while a loss would all but lock up the No. 1 seed for the Texans, who would then have victories over all the other division leaders in the conference.
