SAN DIEGO (AP) -LaDainian Tomlinson can light up a stadium like no other player. Tomlinson broke an 85-yard touchdown run late in the second quarter to give the star running back even more records and his San Diego Chargers led the Kansas City Chiefs 14-6 after three quarters Sunday night. Tomlinson's second TD of the game came when he turned a simple off-tackle play into an electrifying run that was greeted by a burst of fireworks above Qualcomm Stadium and spotlights inside the big concrete bowl.

When they lost, the Colts again found themselves as the last remaining unbeaten team. Now, the San Diego Chargers are the trendy Super Bowl pick. Dungy frequently reminds his own players of such patterns by pointing to his own experiences and those of other teams. This week, his first exhibit is the Bengals. But the Colts remain focused on playing better th |

| (MySportsbook) - The Kansas City Chiefs won't have to search hard for incentives when they visit the San Diego Chargers on Sunday night, as the AFC Wild Card hopefuls will seek to honor owner Lamar Hunt in the first game since their venerable patriarch passed away on Wednesday. Hunt, long renowned as one of the pioneers of the modern version of the NFL, died earlier in the week at age 74 from complications of prostate cancer. He left behind one of the most stable and admired organizations in the league, one th |

The arrest of cornerback Cletis Gordon on drunk driving charges a few weeks ago brought the number of San Diego Chargers involved in run-ins with the law since April to five. The Chargers get style points, too. For dramatic effect, it's hard to top linebacker Steve Foley being shot three times by an off-duty police officer who suspected him of driving drunk. The J |

With McNair leading the way, Baltimore beat Tomlinson and the San Diego Chargers on Oct. 1, and Brees and the New Orleans Saints on Oct. 29. So why isn't he getting more attention as a possible MVP? ``You're asking the wrong guy,'' Ravens coach Brian Billick said. ``I don't know that you can quantify what Steve McNair has done |

Instead, the loss dropped Kansas City one game behind Cincinnati and Jacksonville for the AFC's wild card spots. The setback also allowed the San Diego Chargers to clinch the AFC West title with Sunday's win over the Denver Broncos. Even more serious for the Chiefs' playoff chances is the fact that two of their three remaining games are divisional tests on the road (12/17 at San Diego & 12/23 at Oakland |

While the Chargers are good enough to get to the Super Bowl behind LaDainian Tomlinson, Philip Rivers and Shawne Merriman, their coach, Marty Schottenheimer, is, to use a polite term, playoff challenged. Schottenheimer has taken the one-and-done routine to the point where this joke has followed him from town to town: What do Marty Schot |
