Video emerged Thursday of Murray yelling “hitch” to Eagles cornerbacks Nolan Carroll and Malcolm Jenkins.

As Jimmy Kempski of the Philly Voice points out, Murray was correct. Bryant ended up running a 10-yard hitch, and the play was well-read by the two defenders. As a result, Matt Cassel checked down to Darren McFadden.
The play ended up being a pretty crucial part of the game. It was third-and-10 on the Cowboys’ final drive in regulation, and it forced an important fourth-and-5, which the Cowboys would convert.
Murray finished with 161 total yards and a touchdown, and the Eagles won in overtime, 33-27.
