Do passing TDs not count toward LT's record-breaking season? (1 Viewer)

[MLBrandow]

Per NFL's front page:

LaDainian Tomlinson is on pace to score 35 touchdowns.

Through 11 games, LT has: 21 rushing TDs, 3 receiving TDs, 2 passing TDs.16 game scale: 38 TDs (37.8)Now, if you discount the 2 passing TDs, he's on pace for 35TDs (34.9).Do his passing TDs just not count toward the all-time scoring record for RBs or is ESPN just bad at math?edit: they just took it off, but on their front page, they now have this caption:

How good is LaDainian Tomlinson? Better than 24 TDs (and counting).

Again, leaving out the 2 passing TDs (totaling 26, not 24, which is what the quote implies that he has).

He doesn't score on the TDs that he throws...

If we include passing TDs he would be benchmarked against Peyton Manning's 49 TD season (don't know if he added to that with rushing TDs).

The guy with the ball in the end zone is the one who scores the touchdown.
