The Dallas Cowboys experienced the mirror image of their Week 1 loss to San Francisco.
Where AT&T Stadium had been filled with cheering 49ers fans, the Tennessee Titans' LP Field had noticable cheers of "Let's Go Cowboys" near the end of Dallas' 26-10 win. The primary reason for this was DeMarco Murray.

Sure, Murray had yet another first quarter fumble, losing the ball on Dallas' second drive at the TItans' 48 yard line. Fortunatley for Dallas and Murray, everything after that was different.
With quarterback Tony Romo still experiencing accuracy issues, Dallas was able to rely on Murray, giving the fourth-year back a career-high 29 carries. Those carries resulted in 167 yards and one touchdown with an average of 5.8 yards per carry. 115 of those yards came in the first half.
With a healthy ground game, Dallas was able to win the time of possession game, 41:11 to 18:49.
"DeMarco ran really well," Dallas coach Jason Garrett said. "He ran hard and he ran downhill. When you can do that, drive the football again, again and again and control the football and control the game it gives you a great chance to win."
The Cowboys next visit St. Louis. The last two times Murray faced the Rams in 2011 and 2013, the former Sooner had 253 and 175 yards rushing respectively.
