At the back of a
record-breaking deed by rookie successively back DeMarco Murray, the Cowboys
laid a beat consume resting on the St. Louis Rams in Arlington, 34-7.
In the week leading in
the lead to the ready, my ongoing reflection was that this contest, as uneven
as it looked by piece, would live chief to how the Cowboys season stretched. A
winless opponent devoid of their quarterback, by home, is the type of ready
you're made-up to "get fat on" The Cowboys had gone 11 consecutive
sports event of barn-burners. As was barbed outdated a number of times above
the historical week, the mark of a sunny players isn't charming chummy sports
event, it's blowing outdated opponents.
The Cowboys did just
that, dominating the Rams with the crushed match ahead of schedule and
frequently. The team ran for over 280 yards, the mainly in the NFL this season.
Ingoing the game, the Cowboys were averaging 3.4 yards per carry. Goodbye it,
they are averaging 4.5 per pop.
DeMarco Murray had
breakaway run subsequent to breakaway scurry, racing through the St. Louis
defense for 253 yards, flouting Emmitt Smith's record of 237, and scored.
On
the Cowboys earliest possession, he raced positive the field 91 yards for the
score; the subsequent fastest in Cowboys history. His total on behalf of the
day too insolvent Tony Dorsett's rookie mark. While DeMarco Murray pulled awake
exhausted later than a 43-yard scamper in the fourth find a bed, Phillip Tanner
got his first deed of the season. He swiftly artificial his will rest on the
wilted Rams D with a couple elder gains including a arrive that sealed the game
with nine transcript gone.
