LaDainian Tomlinson sets a new Career High with 4 tds against the NY Jets

The late dramatics came following yet another stellar performance from running back LaDainian Tomlinson. L.T. scored on each of San Diego’s first three possessions and added a fourth touchdown on the day to become the first Charger to find the end zone four times in a game since Chuck Muncie accomplished the feat on Nov. 29, 1981. Tomlinson finished with 107 yards on 25 carries and added three catches for 46 yards.

L.T.’s first touchdown of the day came on a four-yard run that was set up by a 17-yard catch by tight end Antonio Gates. Tomlinson followed it up with a 25-yard catch and run roughly five minutes later. Jets All-Pro cornerback Ty Law had a shot to stop L.T. near the 15-yard line following the catch, but Tomlinson shook Law in the open field to give the Bolts a 14-0 opening-quarter lead.
