Being one of the 25 running backs enshrined in Canton for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, LaDainian Tomlinson’s legacy is immortalized in the sport. But that doesn’t mean he is completely satisfied with his career. Notably missing from his resume is the ultimate goal for every player—a Super Bowl championship. He played in the AFC Championship Game twice in his career. Once with the San Diego Chargers in the 2007 season with a loss to the New England Patriots, and once with the New York Jets against the Pittsburgh Steelers during the 2010 season.
It would appear that the loss to the Steelers was particularly painful for Tomlinson as it was the penultimate season of his career and his last real chance at a Super Bowl.
