News and Notes

Nov 17
RB LaDainian Tomlinson, who has been written off in many circles after turning 30 years old and having slow start in his ninth season, dusted off a vintage version of his game Sunday against Philadelphia. He rushed for two touchdowns and a season-high 96 yards, showing the moves that have made him among the game's best ever at his position. Tomlinson left the game in decent shape and could be a big part of what the Chargers do in Denver. Coach Norv Turner never did bite when others told him the game had passed Tomlinson by. When he would hear such gibberish, he would usually zip his lips. "I tell them the same thing I tell you guys: nothing," Turner said. "It doesn't matter what I say, what people say." Nobody was saying much bad after Tomlinson's Sunday showing, especially on his 20-yard scoring run."He looked explosive," Turner said. "He hit a crease. He was patient. He did the things he does. I think he's getting into good rhythm and we're getting into a better rhythm blocking for him." |

Tomlinson ran for a season-high 96 yards and scored twice to help the Chargers beat the Philadelphia Eagles 31-23 to pull into a tie atop the AFC West with the slumping Broncos. Advice: Tomlinson's season has been mostly a disappointment, but he proved he still has some gas left in the tank. He could be primed for another big week Sunday as the Chargers visit Denver, which has struggled badly against the run during its three-game losing streak. |

Tomlinson rushed 24 times for 96 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's win over the Eagles. Recommendation: It was easily the best game of the year for Tomlinson, who looked particularly electric on 20-yard third quarter touchdown scamper. The Chargers offense is really looking good of late, and Tomlinson continues to get the vast majority of the carries out of the backfield. |
