"There's nothing like the sight of LaDainian Tomlinson back in the Black Hole to get Raiders fans pumped up - and Tomlinson, too.

"It was good to come back," he said. "Coming out, I got what I thought I'd get from the fans. They weren't happy to see me. But I was happy to see them."

The 32-year-old running back, now in his second year with the Jets, shook off a linebacker - a distressingly familiar sight to Oakland fans - and ran 74 yards with a short pass to set up New York's first touchdown Sunday.

He also scored from 18 yards out on a fine pass by Mark Sanchez. The touchdown was the 160th of his career (26th against the Raiders). Only Jerry Rice (208) and Emmitt Smith (175) scored more."
