Having just turned 30 and about to embark upon his ninth season in the NFL, San Diego Chargers' running back Ladainian Tomlinson is anxious to prove that he's still the best back in the NFL. Tomlinson has had a chip on his shoulder ever since Jim Brown and other analysts claimed Minnesota's Adrian Peterson was currently the top running back in the NFL.
Tomlinson is looking to prove his claims that he's still the best back in the NFL by running all over the Raiders on Monday Night Football.
The Raiders lead the all-time series over the Chargers (54-42-2) and also possess an impressive 15-6 win record on Monday Night Football home games.
San Diego has won the last 11 straight meetings vs the Raiders, and are expected to trounce them on Monday night in Oakland. The Chargers are 9 1/2 point favorites over the Raiders.
