Treasure

Maurice Jones-Drew, Jaguars: Justifying his lofty position in most drafts, Jones-Drew racked up 119 yards and three touchdowns on 23 carries against the Texans and added 28 yards on four catches.

Also: K. Kolb, Phi, 327 yds, 2 TDs, rush TD

Off course

Adrian Peterson, Vikings: Perhaps it’s a measure of the expectations on “All Day” that 99 total yards (85 rushing, 14 receiving) is a disappointment, but no scores in 21 touches isn’t what owners had in mind.

Also: Andre Johnson, Hou, 4 rec, 86 yds

Shipwreck

Frank Gore, 49ers: Coming off a 207-yard game, Gore left in the first quarter with a right ankle injury after one carry for four yards. The only consolation for owners: X-rays showed no broken bones.

Also: Drew Brees, NO, 172 yds, 0 TDs
