Indianapolis Colts vs Cleveland Browns Live Stream (CBS): Watch NFL 2017 Football Online

The Indianapolis Colts will host the Cleveland Browns at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on Sunday in one of 14 games set to take place today for Week 3 of the NFL 2017 regular season. The game has a scheduled start time of 1 p.m. ET and can be watched on TV on the CBS network, or online through live stream (details below).

Both of these teams are already staring into the abyss of another wasted season, and both will be desperate to avoid falling to 0-3. Both teams enter Week 3 on 0-2 and cannot afford to lose another game if they realistically want to compete for the postseason spots this season. However, for one team today they will be dropping to a third straight loss and their season will move to the brink even before a month of play has even taken place.

Historically these two teams have been evenly matched, with each side taking 14 wins from the 28 regular season meetings between them to this point.

Usually things are close in the games between these sides and that is likely to the case today as both teams are struggling to play any kind of free-flowing or powerful football.

Neither of these teams have been able to get enough points on the board through the opening few weeks of the season; the Browns are averaging just 14 points per game, where as the Colts are even worse, with just 11 points per game until now.

Earlier this week, Thursday's game between the Los Angeles Rams and the San Francisco 49ers turned out to be the highest scoring game in the history of NFL Thursday Night Football games, with the Rams claiming a 41-39 victory to move to 2-1. The 49ers meanwhile suffered a third straight loss to drop to 0-3, and their season is immediately on the brink.

The highest scoring game for Thursday Night Football prior to the Rams vs 49ers battle was the 2014 meeting between the Chargers and the 49ers. Again in that game the 49ers came out on the losing side, suffering a 38-35 defeat.

Many may have expected the Rams to come out firing on all cylinders, as they had already proven that they have the players to participate in a high-scoring shootout. In Week 1 they scored 46 points. However, the way the 49ers responded and fought all the way was wholly unexpected for most people, but it helped to provide one of the most entertaining games you're likely to see all season.

In the fourth quarter with under nine minutes remaining in the game, the 49ers were 41-26 behind and looked dead and buried. However, then Brian Hoyer led the team to two straight scoring drives.

Hoyer first threw a 3 year touchdown pass to Trent Taylor to make the scores 41-33, but even then most thought the touchdown was more a consolation prize rather than the start if an amazing fight back from the 49ers.

But from the restart, Rams' returner Pharoh Cooper fumbled to hand the ball straight back to the 49ers. Sn inspired San Francisco team then pushed forward for eight plays before a one yard run by Carlos Hyde got them into the end zone to pull the score to 41-39.

The 49errs went for the two point conversation to bring things level, but were unable to pull it off, leaving them two points behind and facing defeat.

But the breathless finale to the game was not over yet. From the restart the 49ers recovered the onside kick and it looked like they might pull off one of the most amazing comebacks. But soon after, Hoyer was sacked by Aaron Donald on a fourth-and 20 play, and the game was over.

However, the ending of the game revealed some fight that many thought the 49ers were lacking, and that could give them hope that it will not be all doom and gloom this season in the end.

Meanwhile, today's Week 3 game between the Indianapolis Colts and the Cleveland Browns has a scheduled start time of 1 p.m. ET and can be watched on TV on the CBS network, or online through live stream by clicking here.
