NASHVILLE, Tenn. - LaDainian Tomlinson scored on a 16-yard run with 7:29 left in overtime, and the Chargers rallied from a 14-point deficit in the fourth quarter to beat the Tennessee Titans 23-17 on Sunday for their third straight victory and seventh in nine games.

Tennessee (7-6) had a chance to run out the clock in a game the Titans desperately needed to stay close to Cleveland and Jacksonville in the chase for the AFC's two wild-card berths. But they gave the ball back to San Diego (8-5) with 2:24 left in regulation and went three-and-out in overtime.

Tennessee wasted a strong performance by its defense (five sacks and three interceptions).
