Thursday Night Football schedule 2013: Live stream, watch online New York Giants vs Chicago Bears [NFL game start time]

Thursday Night Football will feature the New York Giants against the Chicago Bears in what should be a mouth-watering match up for NFL fans. The two teams have had very different starts to the season, but both will come into this clash knowing the other is dangerous, and will be keen to focus on gaining a valuable win today.

The game will start at 8.25 p.m. ET and can be watched on TV on the NFL Network, or alternatively the game can be watched online through free live stream via the link provided below.

The Giants are in crisis, having gone 0-5 coming into this Week 6 game, with even the most optimistic Giants' fans knowing that their season is almost all but over already at the start of October.

The entire Giants' side looks in disarray, with the defense disappearing for large chunks of each game, and the offense proving ineffective and giving the ball away cheaply too often at important points.

In offence, the Giants are ranked 30th for total points scored per game, posting an average of just 16.4 points per game.

Last weekend's 21-36 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles will have plunged the players to new depths, and they are seemingly lacking confidence in all positions now.

The Chicago Bears meanwhile will see this as a must-win game. They will want to stop the rot that has set in over the past two weeks. Having won their opening three games, they have since lost their last two, leaving them at 3-2. Another loss today will send alarm bells ringing in Chicago.

However, they will look at the Giants, seeing a team in crisis, but also realizing that the players New York have are better than their record suggests. They will be weary of the threat posed by the Giants, but will be confident that they can claim a good home win today to get themselves back on track.

The Bears are at the opposite end of the rankings for offense, and are ranked 4th in the NFL, scoring an average of 29 points per game until now.
