SAN DIEGO — LaDainian Tomlinson will never hate the Oakland Raiders like Marty Schottenheimer did. He's too laid-back for something like that.

At the rate he's going, though, Tomlinson might never lose again to the Silver and Black.

Tomlinson matched his career high with four touchdowns, rushing for 198 yards on 24 carries and leading the Chargers to their eighth straight win over the Raiders, 28-14, yesterday.

Tomlinson scored on runs of 3, 27, 13 and 41 yards to move into a tie with Jim Brown for fourth on the all-time rushing touchdowns list with 106. In the process, Tomlinson passed John Riggins, who had 104.

The reigning league MVP scored for the final time with 2:43 left, thrilling the Raider-hating crowd, and silencing the thousands of Oakland fans in the stadium. It was a simple off-tackle play that Tomlinson broke to the outside. After racing into the end zone, he dropped the ball and raised both arms in the air.

It was the third time L.T. rushed for four touchdowns in a game, and the fifth time overall that he's scored four times. Surprisingly, it was the first time he scored four TDs at home.

"The last time we were here, they booed us," Tomlinson said. "It was good to hear them cheering us."

The defending AFC West champion Chargers (3-3) rebounded to .500 after their early season, three-game losing streak left everyone frustrated, especially Tomlinson. The Chargers pulled into a tie atop the division with Kansas City. Two weeks earlier, fans mercilessly booed the Chargers and chanted Schottenheimer's first name during a 30-16 loss to the Chiefs.

To think, the Chargers can beat the Raiders without Schottenheimer as their coach. Schottenheimer, fired in February, despised the Raiders and was 27-7 against them in his career, including the first seven wins in the Chargers' streak.

Norv Turner, who replaced Schottenheimer, was fired by the Raiders after coaching them to a 9-23 record in 2004-05.

Turner said there was personal satisfaction in beating his old employer, but that it was more important that the Chargers pulled to .500.

"We are getting better," Turner said.

It was Tomlinson's eighth career 100-yard game against the Raiders. During the winning streak, Tomlinson has rushed for 1,142 yards and 12 touchdowns, while also catching one TD pass and throwing two.

Tomlinson can't explain his success against the Raiders.

"It's weird," he said.

"If I would have known that, I would have done something about it a couple of years ago," cracked Turner, who was 0-4 against Tomlinson and the Chargers when he coached the Raiders.

"I don't know, but I like it," quarterback Philip Rivers said about Tomlinson's dominance of Oakland. "He was outstanding. He's really starting to get going. Our offense is really starting to get going."

The Raiders (2-3) looked more like the team that went an NFL-worst 2-14 last year than the one that was coming off consecutive wins.

Oakland's Daunte Culpepper was intercepted twice, lost a fumble and was sacked six times.

JAGUARS 37, TEXANS 17

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Maurice Jones-Drew broke two tackles, outran another defender and then flipped head-over-feet into the end zone. He stood up and took two not-so-modest bows. Then he got a well-deserved standing ovation.

Jones-Drew ran for 125 yards and two scores, finished with 260 all-purpose yards and helped Jacksonville thump division rival Houston (3-3).

"When you run the ball for nine-point-something yards a carry in this league, you're kicking somebody's tail," Texans coach Gary Kubiak said. "That was ours they were kicking."

Fred Taylor added 90 rushing yards and David Garrard threw two TD passes as the Jaguars (4-1) won their fourth consecutive game.

CHIEFS 27, BENGALS 20

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Tony Gonzalez caught his record-breaking 63rd touchdown pass much the way he caught the first 62 — stretching out his 6-foot-5 frame as high and as far as he could and pulling the ball down in traffic with soft, powerful hands.

His 3-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter gave Gonzalez the NFL record for tight ends. Then the eight-time Pro Bowler caught Damon Huard's 26-yard scoring strike in the fourth quarter that proved the difference in Kansas City's victory over the downward-spiraling Cincinnati Bengals (1-4).

"It wasn't the easiest (catch)," said a grinning Gonzalez, who broke the record of 62 TD catches by a tight end held by Shannon Sharpe. "I had to go get it. I was like, 'I'm not letting this one get away. I've been waiting a long time for it.' "

With Gonzalez getting two TDs and 102 yards receiving, the Chiefs (3-3) rolled up an impressive — for them — 354 total yards.

BROWNS 41, DOLPHINS 31

CLEVELAND — Things can't get much bleaker for the Miami Dolphins.

The Cleveland Browns (3-3) built an early lead and held on for a win that handed the Dolphins (0-6) a franchise-record ninth consecutive loss.

"It is humbling," linebacker Joey Porter said. "As a team, as a defense, we have real high expectations. But we are not playing real good football right now."

The Browns scored on three of their first four possessions to go up 17-3 before Leigh Bodden intercepted Cleo Lemon's pass. Quarterback Derek Anderson turned it into a 24-yard touchdown throw to Braylon Edwards on the next play.

After the Dolphins pulled within 27-24 in the third quarter, Anderson threw his second and third TD passes of the game to Edwards to put it out of reach.
