Cowboys 31, Raiders 24: DeMarco Murray rushed for three touchdowns - the first multi-touchdown game of his career - and Tony Romo passed for 225 yards and a score as host Dallas rallied past Oakland.

Lance Dunbar rushed for 82 yards and Murray added 63 yards on the ground for the Cowboys (7-5), who took a half-game lead over Philadelphia in the NFC East. Romo was 23-of-32 and connected with Dez Bryant seven times for 61 yards and a score.

Oakland was in command early, as Greg Jenkins returned Terrance Williams' fumble on the opening kickoff 23 yards for a touchdown and Jennings scored on a pair of 1-yard runs to give the Raiders a 21-7 lead. The Cowboys changed the momentum with an eight-play, 73-yard drive capped by Murray's 4-yard run just before halftime to pull within a touchdown.

The Cowboys dominated the second half, tying it on Romo's 4-yard touchdown pass to Bryant and taking the lead when Murray's 7-yard run capped a 65-yard drive on the second play of the fourth quarter. The Raiders were driving toward a potential tying touchdown, but Dallas' Brandon Carr made a leaping interception in the end zone to pick off a pass intended for Jacoby Ford and preserve the 28-21 lead - to which both teams added field goals.
