We have a new Superman in the NFL this year. It may not be Metropolis,but San Diego is home to the new super hero, LaDanian Tomlinson.After Sunday’s win in Oakland, everyone was talking not abouthis running, but about “The Pass”.
With the Chargers ahead 17-7 in the second quarter, Tomlinsonveered right, pulled up and fired a pass into the hands of TEJustin Peele. QB Drew Brees said, “In the Celebration in the endzone I said, Superman you can do it all.”
With that pass LT had the hat trick. Earlier Drew Brees threwto him in the flat, and pretty much sauntered in for a 35 yardtouchdown. 7-0 San Diego. Later he ran it in from seven yardsout right in front of the Raider’s “Black Hole” maniacs, 14-0.

Not even halftime and he’s got the trifecta.It’s the seventh time in history that a player has scored rushing,receiving, and passing. The first since David Patton did it forNew England in 2001. One other Chargers RB has done it; KeithLincoln on Nov. 7th, 1965 against Denver was the other.
LaDanian has now thrown five times, completingfour. Three of those have been for touchdowns. On the season hehas perfect 158.3 passer rating. LT has made it clear he isn’tgiving his quarterback passing lessons either.
He also scored his 18th straight game, extendedhis record for rushing TD’s in consecutive games to 18 as well.Five more than runner up John Riggins and George Rogers. And hebecame the first player to rush for 10 touchdowns in five consecutiveseasons, although he was tied later by Seattle’s Shaun Alexander.
LaDanian finished the day with 140 yards on 31carries, and the three touchdowns. Coach Schottenheimer said afterthe game, “If you give him the ball enough times, he’s going toget plenty of yards.”
At the age of 26, LT has 6500+ yards rushingand 84 touchdowns. The Chargers probably made the right decisionwhen the traded drafting rights for Michael Vick, for LT and Brees.Tomlinson is more valuable than Vick is durable.
San Diego travels to Philadelphia on Sunday,The Eagles have the 11th ranked total defense in the NFC, notto fear LT will still get his yards, just like Superman alwaysgets the bad guys.
