It's been a very tough year for DeMarco Murray in Philadelphia. The 2014 NFL rushing champion and big-ticket free agent for the Eagles has averaged just 3.5 yards per carry and a shade over 45 rushing yards per game. His lack of production arguably contributed to Chip Kelly's demise as the team's head coach.
DeMarco Murray had a 54-yard TD on his first carry after Chip Kelly’s firing
Murray just didn’t seem to be a fit in the Eagles’ running game -- a poor reflection on Kelly’s decision to make the signing -- and the star running back reportedly told owner Jeffrey Lurie recently that he’d lost all confidence in his head coach.
Well, Murray wasted no time demonstrating why. In the first offensive series post-Chip, with Sam Bradford running a traditional scheme and handing off from under center, Murray took a run up the gut 54 yards for a score. Untouched.
Perfect, really.
