Demarco Murray is a difference maker

[Gryphon]

DeMarco Murray rushed 21 times for 53 yards and a touchdown and caught four passes for 22 yards as the Cowboys came from behind to knock off the Bengals 20-19 in Week 14.Murray's yards-per-carry average for the game doesn't look overly impressive, but he accounted for one of Dallas' two touchdowns in the game and ripped up several big runs late in the hard-fought contest to set up Dan Bailey's winning field goal from 40 yards out. If Murray didn't look back to 100 percent in last week's win over Philadelphia, he got closer against the Bengals. Murray will be a back-end RB2 when the Cowboys host the Steelers in Week 15.

I wanted to post something like this, Demarco is much more of a creative runner than Felix and makes him so much more of big play threat. He's providing a much needed spark to this offense and it's showing it's potential finally

Losing him last year was detrimental to the team. Hopefully, having him back this year will help.

[CATCH17]

He's a beast but he's a part time player.

The difference he makes is amazing.

outside romo, murray is the most important player on our team.
I feel pretty confident that had he been active against Wash, we win that game

Agree. The thing you can't account for is presence. His sheer presence in the game causes defenses to have to play honest which opens up the overall passing game for the rest of the offense. So glad to have him back.

He was C-L-U-T-C-H late in the game.

[Idgit]

He makes a huge difference in the offense.

[CowboysYanksLakers]

They have to keep giving him the football... He's going to break some long runs!

I still can't figure out how he converted that third down. Dude was falling down a good five or six yards short of converting. I realize it was only a third-down conversion, but it was one of the most athletic plays I've seen in some time.

Sorry, but some of you are a riot. If Felix put up the stat line that Murray did today, you'd all be calling for his head again and pointing out how "worthless" he is.

Funny stuff..

But that's the thing, it's not about the stat line, the determination Murray takes every rush with is like no one else. And do you think Felix makes that second effort play to get the first?

What? Fantasy stats aren't the only story?

The stat line has nothing to do with what Murray did out there. Those runs and catches in the 4th quarter allowed the comeback and then the victory. As they say, "stats don't always tell the whole story". Anyone would be pleased with that stat line if they take into account the situations in which those paltry stats were gained.
