he was rested in the regular season finale, though his yards per carry dropped significantly to 3.9, and he had barely half as many receptions with 53. However, he led the NFL in rushing touchdowns for the first time with 17. His 1,776 scrimmage yards were tied for fifth in the league, while his 18 total touchdowns ranked second. Tomlinson earned his second Pro Bowl nomination, and rewarded his offensive line with an expenses-paid trip to Hawaii, the site of the game. He was voted Associated Press First-team All-Pro for the first time in his career. Tomlinson's first playoff experience came in 2004. San Diego hosted the New York Jets in the first round of the playoffs, losing 20–17 in overtime. Tomlinson rushed 26 times for 80 yards, and caught nine passes for 53 yards, scoring no touchdowns. During the sudden-death overtime period, San Diego gained a first down at the New York 22; Tomlinson ran three times for no gain before rookie kicker Nate Kaeding came in for a game-winning field goal attempt. Kaeding missed wide right, and New York drove for the winning points. Schottenheimer was criticized after the game for playing too conservatively with the three Tomlinson runs. 2005 season Tomlinson began the 2005 season on a regular season twelve-game streak of scoring at least one rushing touchdown, one short of the NFL record held by John Riggins and George Rogers. He tied and later broke the record in the first two weeks of the season, though the Chargers lost both games. In Week 3, Tomlinson rushed 21 times for 192 yards and three touchdowns and threw a 26-yard touchdown to Keenan McCardell as San Diego defeated the New York Giants 45–23. He was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week for his game against the Giants. After scoring in the next two games, Tomlinson entered Week 6 looking to tie Lenny Moore's NFL record of 18 consecutive regular season games with a touchdown of any type. In the game, a 27–14 win at Oakland, Tomlinson tied the record and became the tenth player in NFL history to run, catch, and throw for a touchdown in the same game. He earned AFC Offensive Player of the Week for his game against Oakland. Tomlinson's touchdown streak came to an end the following week, as he was shut down in a 20–17 loss at Philadelphia, gaining only seven yards
