Dallas Cowboys inflict rare home loss on Seattle Seahawks
DeMarco Murray joins Jim Brown as the only running backs in history to rush more than 100 yards in six straight games to start a season
DeMarco Murray grabbed a slice of NFL history to help the Dallas Cowboys hand Super Bowl champions Seahawks a rare home loss with a 30-23 triumph.
Murray joined Jim Brown as the only running backs in league history to surpass 100 rushing yards in six straight games to start a season.
I think our team now understands that we do a lot of things pretty well and I think we have the ability to kind of impose yourself on other teams
He ran for the go-ahead touchdown with 3:16 remaining and after the Seahawks turned the ball over on downs the Cowboys' Dan Bailey booted a 31-yard field goal to make it a seven-point game.
The Seahawks got one more chance, but quarterback Russell Wilson was intercepted in the final minute by Dallas defender Rolando McClain to seal the Cowboys win. It was just the second time the Seahawks were beaten in Seattle in 21 home games of Wilson's tenure.
The Cowboys won their fifth straight game after a week one loss to San Francisco. Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo threw for 250 yards and found each of his tight ends, Jason Witten and Gavin Escobar, for touchdowns.
"I think our team now understands that we do a lot of things pretty well and I think we have the ability to kind of impose yourself on other teams," said Romo, who rallied Dallas from an early 10-0 deficit.
