Bottomline: Cowboys are "13-3, I'm very happy with," Phillips

The Cowboys head into the postseason with the best record in the NFC.
They have the best record in the history of the franchise.

But they have no momentum after losing two of their last three games. And they are not playing near the level they played at earlier in the season.

But listen to coach Wade Phillips and all is well in Cowboys country.

"13-3, I'm very happy with," Phillips said. "I don't think anyone could be happier than we are right now."

In fact, Phillips got downright defensive when asked about the Cowboys problems of late and he had no interest in talking about the 27-6 loss to the Redskins in the season finale.

Never mind that the Cowboys scored no touchdowns in December losses to the Eagles and Redskins.

Phillips said the Cowboys are more than ready for a postseason that is supposed to end with their first Super Bowl berth since 1996.

"I'm concerned about our football team getting ready for this game," he said. "Throw in Chicken Little and the sky is falling and all that, if you want to. But I think we have a strong football team and a great chance to be where we want to be."
