DeMarco Murray breaks the record

LANDOVER, Md. - DeMarco Murray became the all-time best rusher in Cowboys history on Sunday.

His 32 yard rush over left end gave Murray his 1,798th yards on the season. Emmitt Smith held the team's previous best record, rushing for 1,773 yards in the 1995 season. 

Dez Bryant caught the 23 yard touchdown reception to conclude that drive as the Dallas Cowboys lead the Washington Redskins 17-7 in the first quarter.

The catch was previously ruled incomplete, but a Jason Garrett challenge overturned that decision for the ten-point advantage.

His 65 yard touchdown regained the Dallas lead after Robert Griffin connected with DeSean Jackson on a 69 yard score two minutes earlier.

Dallas (11-4) is seeking their fourth straight victory after clinching their first NFC East title since 2009.
