Sooners in the NFL: Week 10

Murray Gets Back to 100-Yard Mark

One week after running back DeMarco Murray's NFL record streak of 100-yard games to start a season ended after an eight-game run, he started up a new streak Sunday by gaining exactly 100 yards on 19 carries in helping Dallas to a 31-17 win over Jacksonville in England. Murray also tied for the team lead with six catches and gained 31 yards on those receptions.

Murray has a league-best 1,233 rushing yards and 1,514 yards from scrimmage. In addition he leads the NFL in attempts (244), attempts per game (24.4), rushing yards per game (123.3), rushes for first down (60), runs of 20+ yards (10) and runs of 40+ yards (2).

Also in the game, James Hanna started at tight end for the Cowboys and had one tackle on special teams.
