Big run yards in defeat

Murray has big day and Cowboys lose -- again

DeMarco Murray joined a small fraternity on Sunday. He ran for over 130 yards for the second week in a row, and his team lost both of those games. That doesn't happen very often.

As best as I can figure, it's happened only seven other teams since the league moved to the 16-game format in 1978.

Most recently, Bryce Brown did it last year. Jamaal Charles (2009) is the only other active player who's done it.
