BALTIMORE — The New England Patriots weren’t kidding that they aren’t perfect, no matter what their record through 12 games shows.

ALAMEDA — JaMarcus Russell’s debut lasted 16 plays, moved 85 yards and yielded no points for the Oakland Raiders. It did generate more excitement at the Coliseum than the Raiders had seen for years.

OAKLAND — It might have been easy for the Orlando Magic of old to melt down in a game like this, and go home satisfied with a 3-2 road trip.

STANFORD — The season had been over for nearly 30 minutes when the entire Stanford team poured back out of the locker room and went to the field with the fabled Axe to celebrate more with their delirious fans.
