Still feeling LT's burn marks, Raiders should be 'keyed up'

Full Story Here': "LaDainian Tomlinson had a queasy stomach, but it was Oakland defenders who looked ill as they left the field after a 21-14 loss to the Chargers last December in Qualcomm Stadium.

Only once before had the Raiders been gashed as badly as they were that afternoon, when Tomlinson made a mockery of their 'Commitment to Excellence' motto by running for 243 yards. That was 23 yards shy of the record total ran against the Raiders by Seattle's Shaun Alexander in 2001 and 23 more than the franchise single-game record Tomlinson set in 2002.

Sunday, Tomlinson and the Chargers will face the Raiders for the first time since that game. And though the Raiders have changed coaching staffs and some personnel, the desire for redemption figures to remain as great as ever for an organization that likes to define itself by the words pride and poise."
