L.T. (LaDainian Tomlinson) got the record, a division title and a ride on his teammates' shoulders.

V.Y. (Vince Young) provided more late-game heroics, this week in overtime.

Reggie (Bush) and Drew (Brees) had far too much firepower for Dallas.

Yes, those guys known by their initials or first names — forget T.O., who was on the losing end of the Cowboys' flop Sunday — keep on winning.

Tomlinson rushed for three touchdowns, giving him 29 for the season, breaking the record Shaun Alexander set for Seattle last year. He also ran for 103 yards in a 48-20 romp past Denver that gave the San Diego Chargers the AFC West crown.

"We can talk about something special that we did. We made history today," L.T. said. "There's no better feeling than to share it with the group of guys that's in that locker room."

The Chargers (11-2) have the AFC's best record.

Young, the rookie quarterback from Texas, lifted the Tennessee Titans to their third straight dramatic win. His 39-yard run in overtime on third-and-14 beat Houston 26-20.

Young blew kisses and high-fived fans before pointing to a sign that read: "VY Wish You Were Here" after the winning scramble.

"It was a great ending, just being from Houston," Young said. "And then being in front of my family ... it doesn't get any better than that."

It's getting better and better for the NFC South-leading Saints, too. They won their third straight thanks to the exciting rookie Bush and the dominant QB Brees.

Bush turned a short pass into a scintillating 61-yard TD, one of five touchdown throws for Brees in a 42-17 romp at Dallas.

"We let a lot of people know what we are all about," Brees said.

There was nothing Peyton Manning could do to prevent this outcome — unless he decided to play defense or special teams.Rookie Maurice Drew ran for a career-high 166 yards and two touchdowns, had a 93-yard kickoff return for a score, and the Jaguars literally ran the Colts out of town and maybe out of contention for home-field advantage in the AFC.

Miami sacked Tom Brady four times, forced him to fumble twice, held him to 78 yards passing and shut out the visiting Patriots for the first time since the perfect-season Dolphins of 1972.

Edgerrin James topped 100 yards rushing for the second game in a row and Matt Leinart threw touchdown passes of 56 and 5 yards to lead the host Cardinals (4-9) to their third victory in four games.

Steve McNair hooked up with Mark Clayton for an 87-yard score and Ed Reed had two interceptions, leading the Ravens (10-3), who maintained a two-game AFC North lead over Cincinnati. The Ravens forced three turnovers and sacked Trent Green four times. Green also lost a fumble after being sacked and stripped of the ball by Terrell Suggs.

Tiki Barber rushed for 112 yards, Eli Manning threw three touchdown passes and the Giants (7-6) snapped a four-game losing streak.Chris Weinke, making his first start in more than four years in place of the injured Jake Delhomme, threw for a team-record 423 yards, but had three second-half interceptions for the Panthers (6-7), losers of three straight.

At Tampa, the NFL's top rushing team lost Warrick Dunn and Jerious Norwood within a span of five plays of the third quarter, but Justin Griffith finished a 71-yard drive with a 21-yard touchdown run to lead Atlanta (7-6).Dunn injured his calf after gaining 9 yards to boost his season total to 997. Norwood hurt his right knee four plays later. Griffith had carried just six times for 34 yards before Sunday.

The visiting Eagles (7-6) intercepted two passes — one returned 84 yards for a TD by Michael Lewis — and Jeff Garcia threw two TD passes. Brian Westbrook had 88 yards rushing and 38 receiving. The Eagles have swept the Redskins (4-9) four times in the last five years.

At Cincinnati, Carson Palmer threw for a pair of touchdowns and Rudi Johnson ran for two more. The Bengals (8-5) have won four in a row, moving to the front of the AFC wild-card race with Jacksonville.

Willis McGahee again victimized the Jets, as he scored on a 57-yard run and had 125 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries. He has gained 100 or more yards in each of his last five games against New York.

At Detroit, the Vikings stayed in the playoff picture with an unlikely boost from a player haunting his former team. Artose Pinner had career highs with 125 yards rushing and three touchdowns to lift Minnesota (6-7).

At San Francisco, Brett Favre passed for 293 yards and hit Donald Driver for a 68-yard touchdown as the Packers (5-8) snapped a three-game losing streak.
