Rookie DeMarco Murray runs for 253 yards in Week 7 of the NFL season

On October 23, 2011, Dallas Cowboys Rookie DeMarco Murray broke Emmitt Smith's single game rushing record for a Dallas Cowboys running back of 237 yards (set at Philadelphia against the Eagles on October 31, 1993), with 253 yards, against the St. Louis Rams at Cowboys Stadium in Dallas. The record total included a first-quarter 91-yard touchdown run that is second longest in Cowboys history, after a NFL-record 99-yard run by Tony Dorsett in January 1983.
