Murray sets a Franchise Record

[percyhoward]

Five consecutive games with 100+ yards rushing.

Breaks the record of 4 straight (Dorsett, 1979; Smith, 1995)

Dallas is now 44-5 with Romo when the team has 100+ yards rushing and the opponent is held under 30 points.

If we don't kill ourselves, we can beat most teams in this league.

Here here!

He's only the third RB to ever start a season with 5 straight games of 100+ yards rushing, joining O.J. and Jim Brown.

That's elite company.

Now lets offer him a weak contract and plug Randall and dunbar in his place; we wont miss a beat.

Apologies, couldn't help it, still cant believe people want to let young talent go.

Murray beasting

 

[JonJon]

That's hard to believe that Smith never had more than 4 games in a row of 100 yards.... Good job Murray! Now hold on to the ball.

People keep misquoting this stat. It's 100+ yds AND a touchdown in each game.

I thought the stat was 5 games with 100 yds and a TD.

I think the record is STARTING THE SEASON with 4 or more games of 100 or more yards.

Blame ESPN if it's incorrect.

DeMarco Murray starts the season with 5 straight 100-yd rushing games. Only 2 other players have EVER done that, O.J. Simpson + Jim Brown.

I know they did. It's really annoying that they have all those resources and routinely get things wrong like that.

Their post game blog has it correct though.

Ahhhh.....big difference. Thanks for the correction.

Murray's the first Dallas player with 5 consecutive games of 100+ yards rushing, at any point in the season.

 

[percyhoward]

Here's where Murray ranks in 100-yard games, all time. He's got 11 games to do it six more times to tie Emmitt.

11 Smith 1995
9 Dorsett 1981
9 Smith 1999
8 Smith 1991
7 Smith 1992, 1993, 1998
6 Dorsett 1978, 1979, 1983
6 Smith 1994, 2000
5 Hill, 1973
5 Murray 2014

Murray didnt get his touchdown.

Murray didnt get his touchdown.

Doesn't matter, the five straight 100-yard games is still a team record.

Defense still isn't consistent enough to win some games. But we do a great job of keeping the ball out of the hands of the other teams with the run game being solid.

Defense shut the Texans down almost the entire game. Had the offense had produced, the Texans would have become one dimensional towards the pass, and they were struggling passing all day. They probably wouldn't have scored much.

This defense isn't a prolific defense, but put in the right place, they can do well.

 

[Boyzmamacita]

Murray didnt get his touchdown.

He could've but when Dez is one on one with a rookie....

 

[Risen Star]

Which proves one thing.

This guy is better than Tony Dorsett and Emmitt Smith.
