1 PRIMED FOR PAY DIRT

L.T. has reached the breaking point

If La Dainian Tomlinson makes it into the end zone on Sunday, it will mark a stunning accomplishment. The Chargers running back will have scored a touchdown in his 19th straight game, which will break a record Colts great Lenny Moore has held for 40 years.

During those 40 years, no other player has gotten within three games of Moore's record. O.J. Simpson had a string of 14 straight in 1974. John Riggins, George Rogers and Jerry Rice made it to 13 straight.

"Given the tradition and history of the National Football League, when you can tie or break a record, especially one that's 40 years old, it's definitely something to be proud of," Tomlinson says.

For Tomlinson to tie the record, he needed health, opportunity, competent teammates, exceptional skill and a nose for the end zone. "You have to have guys around you that sacrifice and allow you to get the glory," Tomlinson says. "The guys I have around me--my blockers, Drew (Brees), Antonio (Gates) and Keenan (McCardell)--those guys doing their part so I can score touchdowns is something I appreciate."--Dan Pompei
