Here's a look at how Jags-over-Texans and Titans-over-Vikings played in the papers and online.

Please let me know if I missed something good with a note to the mailbag.

Houston Texans

• Defense and special teams didn't hold up their ends as the Texans lost a heartbreaker, writes John McClain.
• The Texans' offense came to life in Jacksonville, says McClain.
• Richard Justice says a close loss doesn't mean things are better for the Texans.
• David Garrard's running killed Houston, according to Megan Manfull.
• Safety C.C. Brown fractured a forearm and will miss some time, writes Manfull.

Indianapolis Colts

• Casey Irsay, daughter of the Colts owner, has worked her way up in the family business. A good look behind the scenes by Mike Chappell.
• Coverage teams have been better for the Colts, writes Phil Richards.
• A Good Samaritan found and returned Tony Dungy's credit card, reports Mike Chappell.

Jacksonville Jaguars

• The Jaguars won on a last-second field goal for the second week in a row. Michael C. Wright has the details.
• Gene Frenette says David Garrard picked up on the bailout theme and got the defense off the hook.
• Two weeks, two game-winning drives for Garrard, writes Vito Stellino.
• The Jaguars started without Reggie Nelson (knee) and lost Rashean Mathis (shin) in the second quarter, leaving a thinned out secondary for the Texans to pick apart, according to Hays Carlyon.
• Jerry Porter gets just one catch in his first game for the Jags, says Stellino.
• A trick play that worked gave the Jaguars a big boost, writes Tania Ganguli.

Tennessee Titans

• As the Titans left the field, instead of "Here we go Titans, here we go," it was "4 and 0 Titans, 4 and 0," says Jim Wyatt.
• Gus Frerotte accused Kyle Vanden Bosch of a cheap shot, but KVB defends himself, writes Wyatt.
• The Titans' balance should concern everybody else in the AFC, says Clark Judge.
• Tennessee bullied the Vikings, says Thomas George of NFL.com.
• Tennessee's defense managed to slow down Adrian Peterson, writes Gary Estwick.
• David Climer says with Kerry Collins at quarterback, business is booming.
