Notre Dame not ranked despite 4-1 start (AP)

Notre Dame’s 4-1 start doesn’t measure up to the 27 other seasons in which the Irish had one loss in the first five games. The difference: This time they’re unranked. Every other season in which the Fighting Irish were either 4-1 or 3-1-1, they were ranked. The Irish were rated as high as No. 4 in 1942 and 1965, as low as No.

Colts rally past stunned Texans 31-27 (AP)

Headed for another early-season loss, Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts staged a stunning comeback thanks to a colossal collapse by the Houston Texans.

Dolphins hold on, beat Chargers 17-10 (AP)

With the Miami Dolphins threatening to score, running back Ronnie Brown waited in the single wing for a direct snap, his grin visible through his face mask.
