Dallas Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray is having a historic season, the kind that we'll be talking about for years to come. He just set an NFL record with his seventh straight 100-yard game to begin a season. But of course, he wouldn't be totaling anywhere near those numbers without a strong offensive line. (Isn't that right, Atlanta?)

Anyway, Murray clearly recognizes the importance of a good O-line, because on Wednesday, he brought them all brand-spanking-new iMacs. Estimated retail value: $1,300 apiece. Not bad.

“Pretty nice,” Zack Martin said. “We just walked in and he gave them to us, so it was pretty cool.”

Here's a photo of the Cowboys locker room with said iMacs already in waiting:

It was a small investment for Murray, considering the numbers he is putting up in a contract year. Murray leads the NFL with 913 yards, far ahead of Houston's Arian Foster, who is a distant second with 615 yards. Murray is on pace for 2,087 yards, which would put him in range of Eric Dickerson's single-season record of 2,105 yards, set 30 years ago.

Dallas has nine offensive linemen on its active roster, so that was mighty generous of Mr. Murray. Of course, if he breaks Dickerson's record, he'll need to come up with something even more generous. Should've led with an iPhone, DeMarco.
