Dallas Cowboys' DeMarco Murray breaks NFL record

Dallas Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray broke the record for the most consecutive games of over 100 rushing yards at the start of an NFL season this evening.

The 26-year-old eclipsed the feat of Hall of Fame back Jim Brown when he ran for over 100 yards for the seventh game in a row, breaking Brown's record of six games, in his side's victory over the New York Giants.

Murray played a pivotal role in Jason Garrett's side win as he recorded 128 rushing yards on 28 carries along with a touchdown, as the Cowboys won for their sixth match in a row.

The running back has now run for 913 yards and seven touchdowns in the 2014 season.
