    LT jumps to 10th on all-time rushing list in Chargers' lopsided win

    The hardest part for Paul Oliver was simply staying on his feet for 40 yards.

    In a play that seemed to sum up the afternoon, the San Diego Chargers safety suddenly found the ball in his hands after the Chiefs' Matt Cassel had it slip out of his, and Oliver turned the fumble recovery into a touchdown.

    "It bounced right to me," Oliver said. "It was about as easy of a play as you can make."

    The Chargers converted four turnovers into scores in a 43-14 win over Kansas City on Sunday to run their winning streak to six games.

    LaDainian Tomlinson scored two touchdowns and moved into 10th on the NFL's all-time rushing list. Philip Rivers threw two touchdown passes to Antonio Gates as the Chargers improved to 8-3.

    The Chiefs (3-8) lost a week after stunning the defending Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers in overtime.

    This win came courtesy of a defense that dominated despite losing outside linebacker Shawne Merriman to a foot injury in the second quarter. Cornerback Quentin Jammer had an interception and forced a fumble, and Brandon Siler and rookie Larry English also recovered fumbles.

    An all-time great.

    He can pass Jim Brown this week in Cleveland with 53+ yards. With Cleveland's last place run defense - Shaun Rogers, he's got a great shot at doing it if the Chargers run the ball.
