DeMarco Murray Earns First Career Start After Record-Setting Performance Against Rams

Rookie DeMarco Murray accomplished in the last 48 hours what every NFL rookie dreams of. Murray ran for 253 yards, setting a Dallas Cowboys single-game rushing record, passing Tony Dorsett and Emmitt Smith in the Cowboys' record books as he burst through the St.Louis Rams more than shoddy defense. For his unbelievable performance in his sixth-ever NFL game, DeMarco Murray earned his first career start next Sunday against the Eagles.

DeMarco Murray's 253 yards, including a 91-yard touchdown run in his first carry, is the ninth-best total in NFL history. DeMarco had only totaled 71 yards in his first 5 games.
