Because Chris Palmer coached the Texans' struggling franchise quarterback, and his offense had produced only two touchdowns, he became the fall guy for a team that has underachieved in every area dating to a home loss to Cleveland in Week 17 last season.

Joe Pendry's first and most important job as the new offensive coordinator is to restore David Carr's confidence, get him settled down in the pocket and tell him he should never, ever run around the field yelling at his linemen.

The Texans left the roof to Reliant Stadium open on Sunday realizing it was going to be hot. They hoped that the heat would help wear down the Pittsburgh Steelers. It wound up just upsetting the fans though. The temperatures reportedly topped 100-degrees during the game, and many fans complained that the conditions were unbearable. The Texans plan to consider the ticket holders in their decisions prior to their next home game on Oct. 9 against the Tennessee Titans.

No. 1 pick Braylon Edwards lit it up with his 80-yard TD catch and run against the Packers, but coach Romeo Crennel isn't ready to move him ahead of Dennis Northcutt just yet. Edwards did make his first NFL start in Green Bay as the Browns played much of the game in three-receiver sets with tight end Aaron Shea sidelined.

Falcons defensive end Brady Smith and cornerback/punt returner Allen Rossum could miss their second straight game because of leg injuries. Coach Jim Mora said he thinks Rossum should be able to play, but if he can't, cornerback DeAngelo Hall and wide receivers Brian Finneran and Michael Jenkins could be used to return punts.

Nick Saban does not think Ronnie Brown is a bust. Saban is concerned that Brown's 2.7-yards-per-carry average doesn't necessarily speak as much about Brown as it does about this greater concern: that the Dolphins aren't a very good running team now.

Curtis Martin suffered what Jets coach Herman Edwards described as a right knee strain during Sunday's win over the Dolphins and may miss this week's game against the Jaguars.

Packers tight end Bubba Franks, who left the locker room Sunday on crutches, would need to show at some point this week that he can run before even being considered for action against Tampa Bay. Coach Mike Sherman called Franks' injury a bruise and said he did not take part in running drills Monday and isn't expected to be ready for practice on Wednesday after the players return from their day off.

The Oakland Raiders silently began the process of taking the only recourse available in the wake of some controversial officiating in a 23-17 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. They put together a highlight reel, sent it to the NFL for consideration and will soon receive a reply that won't change their 0-2 record.

Linebacker Mark Simoneau's kicking career is over. The Eagles said yesterday that they will audition kickers in case David Akers is unable to play Sunday against the Oakland Raiders at Lincoln Financial Field. An MRI revealed that Akers strained the hamstring in his right (non-kicking) leg on a second-quarter kickoff. Although the injury was not as serious as feared, coach Andy Reid said that the Eagles will possibly take the precaution of resting Akers and bringing in another kicker.

The Minnesota Vikings hope to build a $675 million retractable-roof stadium in Blaine under an agreement the team has reached with Anoka County. The plan would rely on nearly $400 million from taxpayers, according to sources with knowledge of the negotiations. But Anoka County residents wouldn't get the chance to vote on the sales tax increase that would fund the county's portion of the cost. And state leaders, who will have final say on the project, reacted coolly Monday to news of the agreement.
