Murray took a handoff from Tony Romo, went to his right and was tackled one yard later, making him the first running back in NFL history to start a season with seven 100-yard rushing games.
Murray, in his fourth year in the league after being drafted by Dallas as the 71st pick of the 2011 Draft out of Oklahoma, broke a record held by Jim Brown since 1958.
One drive later, Murray needed another 1-yard run to get his seventh touchdown run of the year and to put the Cowboys up 28-14.
