SAN DIEGO - LaDainian Tomlinson scored three touchdowns late in the second half and finished with 172 yards on 18 carries to lift the Chargers to a sloppy win over lowly Cleveland.
Tomlinson had consecutive 100-yard rushing games for the first time this season. Last week he ran for 183 yards, had 57 yards receiving and scored three times to vault into second place in the NFL in both yards rushing and yards from scrimmage.
With Cleveland's offense sputtering, Phil Dawson kicked a club-record six field goals.
