tomlinson did not participate in the san diego chargers' off-season program in 2008 because of the injury. much like the previous year, tomlinson got off to a slow start after jamming his big toe against the carolina panthers in the second week into the season. tomlinson did not record a 100-yard rushing performance until week four against the oakland raiders while having averaged 3.3 yards per carry the first three weeks. tomlinson averaged 17 carries per game up to mid-season and had had four rushing touchdown and one receiving touchdown. though tomlinson had two 100-yard rushing performances on the season, he topped the 1,000-yard rushing mark for the 8th consecutive time in his career which placed him third all-time alongside thurman thomas for consecutive 1,000-yard rushing seasons behind curtis martin, barry sanders and emmitt smith. he ended the season with a career-low 1,110 rushing yards on a career-low 292 attempts and 11 touchdowns thanks to a three-touchdown performance in the final game of the 2008 season. he also moved up the all-time list of touchdowns, getting his 126th rushing touchdown, which passed marcus allen's 123 and his 141st touchdown moved him closer to marcus allen's 145 total touchdowns in a career which is tied for third all-time with wide receiver terrell owens, behind emmitt smith (175) and jerry rice (208). he also became the fifth player in nfl history to have 500 receptions and rush for more than 10,000 yards. tomlinson partially tore his groin in the finale against denver. he played the first half in the wild-card round against the colts before re-injuring the groin and missing the chargers' divisional loss to the pittsburgh steelers.

anderson played five seasons for the denver broncos. in his first season in 2000, he ended up with 1,487 yards and received the nfl offensive rookie of the year award. he set several franchise records on dec 3 at new orleans with 37 carries for 251 yards and four touchdowns. he also had games with 187 and 195 yards, the only rookie in nfl history with three 175+ yard games. he was plagued by injuries in the following years, not even playing in 2004, the result of tearing both groin muscles while blocking on a punt return in the waning moments of a preseason game. the 2005 nfl season was a good one for him. he rushed for 1,014 yards in 15 games. in reaching his second 1,000-yard rushing season, anderson set several modern-day nfl records (longest stretch between seasons leading a team in rushing, longest stretch between a player's first and second 1,000-yard rushing seasons, and greatest number of seasons passed between 1,000-yard rushing seasons with no intervening seasons rushing for that distance). on march 1, 2006, anderson was waived by the broncos to avoid exceeding the salary cap.
