SAN DIEGO (AP) -LaDainian Tomlinson heard all the gloom-and-doom scenarios in the offseason. That he was going to face stacked defenses and Philip Rivers was going to struggle as the starting quarterback after the San Diego Chargers said adios to Drew Brees. The star running back didn't dismiss them outright. But he knew even back in minicamp that they would eventually be debunked. ``I told a couple of my friends, 'You guys, I know we've got a new quarterback, but we're still going to be good,' `` Tomlinso |

DENVER (AP) -If anybody has LaDainian Tomlinson's number, it's the Denver Broncos. On the cusp of scoring his 100th touchdown faster than any player in NFL history, the San Diego Chargers' remarkable running back has never played particularly well in Denver, where he's averaged 53 yards in five trips, all of them losses. ``Well, they take me out of the game,'' Tomlinson said. ``I haven't had the ball much in Denver. They end up taking me out of the game, whether we get behind and we're not running the ball |

This is a situation that doesn't make sense. The best decision would have been to trade Porter before the season began, when they could have landed a decent draft pick. UP NEXT The Raiders will play the next two weeks on the road against division rivals. They travel to Kansas City next Sunday, and will face the San Diego Chargers in two weeks. |

SAN DIEGO (AP) -Perhaps influenced by their coach, LaDainian Tomlinson and the San Diego Chargers quickly snapped out of their cartoonish feeling on Monday. About 24 hours after leading the Chargers to an unbelievable 49-41 win at Cincinnati, Tomlinson already had his mind on this week's mile-high task. ``I don't even really want to talk about Cincinnati anymore, to be honest,'' Tomlinson said. And this was from a guy who scored four more touchdowns to push his NFL lead to 18. After twice trailing by 2 |

CINCINNATI (AP) -Arrests on land and water. Benchings for misbehavior. Suspensions for substance abuse. In the past year, the San Diego Chargers and the Cincinnati Bengals have turned into the NFL's two top examples of why character counts. Their rap sheets are nearly as extensive as their play lists. So far, there's one big difference between them. As they prepare to meet Sunday in Cincinnati, the Chargers are dealing with their trouble a whole lot better. The Chargers (6-2) are tied with Denver for the |
