SAN DIEGO, Nov. 29 (UPI) -- Philip Rivers and Ladainian Tomlinson accounted for four touchdowns Sunday, leading the San Diego Chargers to a 43-14 rout of Kansas City.

The red-hot Chargers extended their winning streak to six straight and maintained their one-game lead over Denver for first place in the AFC West Division.

They led 28-7 at the half and coasted home.

Rivers completed 21-for-28 for 317 yards with two touchdown passes, Tomlinson scored twice, Antonio Gates made seven catches for 118 yards and Paul Oliver scored on a 40-yard, second-quarter fumble return. Nate Kaeding booted two field goals for the Chargers, who also scored two points when Kansas City's Matt Cassel was tackled in the end zone in the fourth quarter.

Cassel passed for 178 yards, one touchdown and one interception.

His fumble occurred long after the outcome had been decided.

Jamaal Charles gained 93 yards on 14 carries with one touchdown for the Chiefs, who have split their last four games.
