How to Watch Vikings in Week 3: B-Team for CBS on the call for game vs. Texans

Prior to the start of the 2024 NFL season, Sunday's matchup between the Minnesota Vikings and Houston Texans wasn't one that many had anticipated to be one of the marquee games in Week 3. But with both the Vikings and Texans heading into the contest with unbeaten records, plenty of people will be tuning in to see how this game turns out.

In addition to the fact that both teams are currently 2-0, Sunday's matchup also has some extra intrigue as it will feature a number of notable former Minnesota and Houston players going up against their old squads, including Stefon Diggs, Danielle Hunter, Blake Cashman, and Jonathan Greenard.

So, how can Vikings and Texans fans watch all of the action from inside U.S. Bank Stadium this weekend?
