missed opportunity
Chargers QB Philip Rivers slips out of the grasp of Raider DT Terdell Sands. Rivers has been a key component in an offense that tops the NFL with 353 points. The San Diego Chargers improved their record (9-2) in yet another late game comeback to win the game against the Oakland Raiders (2-9) with a final score of 21-14.
SAN DIEGO (AP) -- LaDainian Tomlinson and the Chargers keyed yet another second-half rally to give the AFC West-leading Chargers (9-2) their fifth straight win.
Tomlinson, in the midst of an MVP-type season, rushed for two touchdowns and threw for another. He has 24 touchdowns this season, needing five in the last five games to break the NFL record of 28 set by Shaun Alexander during his MVP season of 2005.
Tomlinson threw a 19-yard touchdown pass to tight end Antonio Gates to tie the game at 14. Tomlinson threw his second TD pass of the season and the sixth of his career.
After the Raiders (2-9) punted, Tomlinson broke a 44-yard run on first down, then capped the drive with a 10-yard scoring run. It was his 21st touchdown in seven games.
