Houston Texans
- “We've got to be good enough to make a yard in the National Football League when it counts,” coach Gary Kubiak said. “If you can't, with your best [running play] and the game on the line, then something's wrong.” Dale Robertson writes about that.

- Another failed goal-line chance for the Texans, says the Chronicle’s notebook.
- The Texans' defense had a second-half turnaround, says John McClain.
- The Texans rolled over like dogs, says Richard Justice.
- Notes from Alan Burge: first half and second half.
- A blowout in Nashville gave the Colts a three-game lead in the division, says Phil Richards.
- Austin Collie took the Titans apart with two touchdowns, writes Phillip B. Wilson.
- Nothing short of a calamity stops these Colts from a deep playoff run, says Bob Kravitz.

- The Seahawks rushed the passer, the Jags didn’t and therein lies the story, says Vic Ketchman.
- This one was X-rated, says Cole Pepper.
- Quentin Groves was involved in a traffic accident on his way to the team flight, writes Bridget Murphy.
- How will the Jaguars react to the Groves incident, asks Frenette.
- A bad team got to show itself to a national TV audience, writes Jim Wyatt.
- Joe Biddle is ready for Vince Young.
- David Climer says it’s about a lot more than the quarterback.
- Jeff Fisher needs to be ready for another onslaught of VY questions, says Wyatt.
- Tennessee’s weak defense helped Manning pad his numbers, writes Bryan Mullen.
- The Titans’ secondary got roughed up again, says Gary Estwick.

- Richard Justice piles on the sarcasm while considering the re-emergence of Young and what it means in Texas.
