SAN DIEGO
Another week brought another record for LaDainian Tomlinson. San Diego's star running back broke Paul Hornung's 46-year-old NFL single- season scoring record on a 15-yard touchdown run to give the Chargers a 7-0 lead over the Kansas City Chiefs after the first quarter Sunday night.
Prior to kickoff, there was a video tribute and moment of silence for Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt, who died Wednesday night of complications from prostate cancer. He was 74.
Hunt was the founder of the AFL and a driving force in the merger with the NFL. He even came up with the term "Super Bowl."
The TD run gave Tomlinson 180 points, breaking Hornung's record of 176 set with the Green Bay Packers in 1960. Hornung was a kicker as well as a halfback for Green Bay.
