Remembering LaDainian Tomlinson's Top Plays As A Charger

Even if LaDainian Tomlinson is not officially gone as a Charger his best days are behind him. He is owed a two million dollar roster bonus March 5th and there is a real possibility he could be cut from San Diego prior to then.

In advance of this procedure Bolts From the Blue put together LT’s greatest hits as a Charger, below is a sampling of their list:

September 29, 2002 vs. New England. The Chargers entered this game at 3-0. In all honesty, I didn’t think the world of LT before this game. However, running for 217 yards, and 2 classic TDs – one breaking Tedy Bruschi’s ankles in the hole, the other a cross-field sprint – and I realized for the 1st time that Chargers’ fans were seeing something special.

November 12, 2006 at Cincinnati. LT scores 4 TDs to help the Chargers overcome a 28-7 halftime deficit and take a 42-38 lead on the first play of the 4th quarter, on their way to a classic 49-41 come-from-behind victory.

January 6, 2008 vs. Tennessee. In his first playoff victory, LT didn’t post huge numbers. However, I smile every time I think of his 4th-and-1 TD, jumping over the pile, getting hit, then stretching the ball across the goal line to give the Chargers the clinching score.

He is possibly the greatest Charger ever to done the powder blue uni and the best since quarterback Dan Fouts. His accomplishments were great as he holds the single season touchdown record at 31, and the only accomplishment to evade LT was the chance to play in a Super Bowl
