Since then he has started every game since for the Cowboys. Murray amassed 897 yards and two touchdowns on 164 carries, while |

In what can be compared to a Twilight Zone episode, the New York Giants are embroiled in another second-half swoon, and have just four games left to redeem themselves and possibly save the job of head coach Tom Coughlin. The team stormed out of the gates in winning six of its first eight games of the season but have since plummeted to a 6-6 mark, leaving the Giants on the outside looking in on a postseason spot.
