You're Welcome


LaDainian Tomlinson must read Minor-League Town. He's the one.
Ever since we busted LT's chops about going five straight games without a 100-yard rushing performance, the dude has been on fire.
We'll take the credit for that.
On Sunday night, LT scored four touchdowns for the second straight game as the Chargers rallied from a multiple-touchdown deficit -- again -- in defeating the Broncos 35-27 for a rare win in Denver. It marked the first time in NFL history that a team won back-to-back games after trailing by more than 17 points.
The Bolts also became the first team in league history to win four consecutive games when allowing at least 24 points in each.
And LT added another chapter to his storied career Sunday night by reaching the 100-touchdown milestone quicker than anyone else in NFL history.
How unstoppable is LT right now? He has scored 19 touchdowns in the past six weeks and needs only seven TDs to break Shaun Alexander's single-season record of 28.
Yes, you can thank us here at MLT for that.
As much as we like to find things to complain about, there's not much to work with the way the Bolts are playing right now.
Sure, Igor Olshansky's decision to punch Broncos center Tom Nalen on the game's final drive, drawing a personal foul and an ejection wasn't the wisest move, but a guy named Igor doesn't figure to specialize in decision-making skills.
Even when the Chargers fell behind 24-7 on Sunday, we couldn't complain about that. Clearly, the team has this comeback thing down.
We recommend they use that same approach the rest of the season. Allow at least 24 points, fall behind by multiple touchdowns, then it's all downhill from there. That'll work every time.
Yeah, we don't see anything possibly going wrong with that. That's a formula that's got postseason success written all over it.
