DeMarco Murray grabbed a slice of NFL history on Sunday (US time) to help the Dallas Cowboys hand the Super Bowl champions Seahawks a rare home defeat with a 30-23 triumph.

Murray joined Jim Brown as one of the only two running backs in league history to surpass 100 rushing yards (91.44 meters) in six straight games to start a season.

He ran for the go-ahead touchdown with 3:16 remaining and after the Seahawks turned the ball over on downs the Cowboys' Dan Bailey ­booted a 31-yard field goal to make it a seven-point victory.

The Seahawks got one more chance, but quarterback Russell Wilson was intercepted in the final minute by Dallas defender Rolando McClain to seal the Cowboys' win.

It was just the second time the Seahawks have been ­beaten in Seattle in 21 home games of Wilson's tenure.

The Cowboys won their fifth straight game after a week-one loss to San Francisco.

Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo threw for 250 yards and found each of his tight ends, Jason Witten and Gavin Escobar, for touchdowns.

"We talked about the mental toughness to overcome ­circumstance and I thought we did that," Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said.

The Cowboys are 5-1 to start a season for the first time since 2007 and tied atop the National Football Conference East ­division with Philadelphia, who thumped the New York Giants 27-0.

In Miami, Green Bay quarter­back Aaron Rodgers authored a game-winning drive capped by a four-yard touchdown pass with three seconds to play, for a cruel 27-24 victory over the Dolphins.

Along the way, Rodgers faked a spike on a play that ended with a key pass completion, finally connecting with Andrew Quarless on a throw that broke Miami hearts.

Even overtime couldn't decide a winner as the Cincinnati Bengals and Carolina Panthers played to a 37-37 tie - the highest scoring tie in NFL history.

Cincinnati's Mike Nugent and Carolina's Graham Gano each kicked a field goal in overtime, but Nugent missed a potential game-winner with four seconds left in the extra session.

The New England Patriots continued their dominance over Buffalo. Tom Brady threw for 361 yards and four touchdowns winning a 37-22 victory in a duel for first place in the American Football Conference East division. The Patriots beat the Bills for the 21st time in their last 22 meetings.

The Denver Broncos, returning to MetLife Stadium for the first time since falling to Seattle in the Super Bowl there in February, came away with a 31-17 victory over the New York Jets.
