Eagles' Murray needs to jump-start rushing game vs. Cowboys

A small plane landed at Atlantic Aviation at Philadelphia International Airport at 3:08 p.m. on March 12. The stairs came down, and three people walked off. One of them was DeMarco Murray.

At that moment, enough fuel was added to the Eagles' rivalry with the Dallas Cowboys to get the aircraft back to Texas. Murray switched sides one season after leading the NFL in rushing yards while helping the Cowboys win the NFC East over the Eagles.

Hours after his flight landed, Murray signed a five-year deal with the Eagles worth as much as $42 million. He became a high-profile piece of the Eagles' offseason overhaul, a move that was supposed to bolster the Eagles and weaken the Cowboys.
