New York, NY (My Sportsbook) - San Diego Chargers standout running back LaDainian Tomlinson, Indianapolis Colts defensive end Dwight Freeney and Buffalo Bills punter Brian Moorman took home the weekly AFC honors for Week 15 of the 2006 campaign. Offensively, Tomlinson continued his MVP-like year with a season-high 199 rushing yards on 25 carries with two touchdowns in San Diego's 20-9 win over the Kansas City Chiefs last Sunday night. The six-year veteran's first touchdown of 15 yards was his 180th point of the season, which put him ahead of Hall of Famer Paul Hornung for the NFL single-season point total. Tomlinson also leads the NFL this season with 1,626 rushing yards and has a record 31 TDs. Freeney earned defensive honors by recording four tackles, three sacks and three forced fumbles in Indianapolis' 34-16 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday night. Freeney now has five career three-sack games and his 56.5 sacks in 77 career games puts him as the Colts' all-time leader in that category. Moorman rounded up the award on the special teams side of the ball by punting seven times while pinning Miami inside it's own 20-yard line on four occasions in Buffalo's 21-0 win over the Dolphins. Moorman, who was named to his second straight Pro Bowl, also drew three fair catches with two returns for minus- one yard and another for just 12. The six-year veteran is second in the NFL with a 39.5 net punting average and second in punts inside the 20 with 29 kicks.
