DeMarco Murray took his first carry for 75 yards and a touchdown, but was just setting the Green Bay Packers up for him to showcase his arm.

DeMarco Murray has proven to be one of the best running backs in the league still in the 2016 season. In his first year with the Tennessee Titans, the back has flirted with the rushing lead for the majority of the season. He did his part in trying to catch Ezekiel Elliott on Sunday in Week 10 against the Green Bay Packers, starting off with a 75-yard touchdown run on his first carry. However, he was just getting started on the fireworks—even if they didn’t involved running the ball.

Shockingly easily, the Titans stopped Green Bay after their first Murray touchdown and got the ball back on a punt. Marcus Mariota, Murray and company then began driving down the field with complete ease. Whenever they got deep in the red zone, though, they decided to get a little tricky with Murray to punch it in.

With the ball on the 10-yard line, Mariota got the snap and pitched it to Murray out to his right. The veteran running back didn’t even fake like he was about to carry it, though. He simply pulled up and then lofted a touch pass to tight end Delanie Walker for the touchdown. Not bad for a running back to have a 75-yard rush and a passing score in the first quarter:

Murray has been tearing it up in Tennessee this season, even if this is the first time we’ve ever seen his arm. If this Titans team played every quarter like they did in the first against Green Bay, though, they might never lose again.
