Murray recorded his first 100-yard game of the season on Monday, compiling 109 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' 27-7 win over the New York Giants.

Better yet, Philadelphia finally looked comfortable utilizing him in their offense.

"The one thing about DeMarco is he's a downhill, physical runner," Eagles coach Chip Kelly told reporters.
