In case you missed it, Twitter streamed an NFL game for the first time ever last week -- the Jets' 37-31 win over Rex Ryan's Bills -- and for the most part it was a success.

Some viewers experienced buffering issues (not really Twitter's fault) and the broadcast was about a play or two behind the TV coverage.

And Twitter will be streaming "Thursday Night Football" games all season long, including tonight's Texans-Patriots showdown at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. Check out the preview here.

If you want to stream the game, just go to tnf.twitter.com. Aside from being available on Twitter.com, the game can be viewed on Twitter's mobile app, as well as set-top box apps for Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV and Xbox One. You did not need a Twitter account to watch.

You can also use your mobile device or tablet with the NFL Network app or the CBS app. As always, your local CBS affiliate will carry the game on television.

Kickoff is at 8:25 p.m. ET.

Twitter will stream the Thursday night regular-season games -- the same games that CBS and NBC will broadcast -- and NFL Network will broadcast the other six games on the Thursday night schedule.

Here's the rest of the NFL-Twitter "Thursday Night Football" schedule, including this week's game:
