via a 51-yard catch-and-run. Rivers described him after the game as "the best in the business" and "the ultimate weapon". With his second score against Denver, Tomlinson became the fastest player ever to score 100 touchdowns, accomplishing the milestone in 89 games and beating the previous record of 93 games held by Jim Brown and Emmitt Smith. He earned AFC Offensive Player of the Week for his game against the Broncos. Next, he accounted for all the Chargers' points in a 21–14 defeat of Oakland, running for two touchdowns and throwing a 19-yard touchdown pass to Antonio Gates. After running for 178 yards and two touchdowns in a 24–21 victory in Buffalo, he had 26 combined rushing and receiving touchdowns on the season, only two behind the record Alexander had established in 2005. San Diego had a chance to clinch the AFC West by beating Denver in Week 14. Tomlinson scored once as they built an early 28–3 lead. Denver had a run of 17 unanswered points in the third quarter, but Tomlinson's record-tying 28th touchdown made the game safe at 41–20 in the final minutes. A fumble recovery by Shawne Merriman soon afterward gave San Diego the ball on the Denver seven-yard line. The next play was designed as an inside run, but Tomlinson broke to the left after his lead blocker Neal slipped over. He scored the record-breaking touchdown in the corner of the end zone—his second in 47 seconds—before being mobbed by his teammates and lifted shoulder-high. Tomlinson was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week for his effort against the Broncos. After his retirement, Tomlinson listed the game as his most memorable with the Chargers. Tomlinson broke three more records the following week, while rushing 25 times for a season-high 199 yards and two touchdowns in a 20–9 victory over the Chiefs. His first touchdown took him past Paul Hornung's 46-year-old record of 176 points in a season (Tomlinson finished with 186). His second touchdown was the longest of his career at 85 yards; that was his 28th rushing touchdown of the season, passing Alexander and Priest Holmes, and also gave him multiple touchdowns in eight consecutive games, breaking a tie with Riggins. Tomlinson's streak of rushing touchdowns came to an end the following week, as he was kept out of the end zone in a 20–17 victory at Seattle, though he did extend his streak
