DeMarco Murray has carried the ball 159 times over the first six games, 43 more than other running back in the NFL.

Murray's 159 rushes to begin the season are more than even the busiest six-game start during the career of Emmitt Smith, who had 150 carries in 1999 at the age of 30.

Murray ran the ball six times in the first quarter at the Seattle Seahawks, followed by eight in the second quarter, six in the third quarter and nine in the fourth.
