For The Record

LaDainian Tomlinson (LT) is on pace to break Shaun Alexander’s touchdown (TD) total of 28. He already has 22 TD on the season, and 19 in the last 6 games. With 6 games left on the schedule he is sure to top that record. In the last 3 week’s he has had 3 TD against the Cleveland, and 4 TD against the Cincinnati and Denver. Up next is Oakland and Buffalo, and both of them are 30th and 32nd in total defense overall. Therefore, it shouldn’t be a problem to keep up the pace, especially since his backup Michael Turner injured his hamstring in practice on Wednesday LT should get more time than normal. First up is Oakland, and the Chargers beat them in week 1 (27-0). LT ran for 131 yards in that game and with the hot streak he is on look out Oakland. The following 2 weeks should be very interesting for the record books. Watch and see what happens.
