Tomlinson Ties Record

Lenny Moore, move over and make room for LaDainian Tomlinson.

With a 35-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter of San Diego’s contest at Oakland, Tomlinson tied Moore’s 40-year-old NFL record for consecutive games with a touchdown. The scoring grab made the 18th-consecutive contest in which Tomlinson has found the end zone. Moore’s record streak was set from 1963-65 when the Hall of Famer played with the Baltimore Colts.

Tomlinson also extended his record streak for rushing touchdowns in consecutive games to 18 with a seven-yard run in the opening quarter.
