IRVING, Texas -- Wade Phillips figures a lack of motivation is all that's been wrong with the Dallas Cowboys lately. Once the playoffs start, he's certain they will snap back to form.

To the form that started 5-0. To the form that had them 12-1. To the form that finished 13-3, tying the best in club history.

At least, that's the spin he was pushing Monday - pushing hard, too, despite evidence the Cowboys are nowhere near entering the playoffs on a roll.

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

Phillips didn't want to talk about the 27-6 loss to Washington in the finale on Sunday, which is understandable considering the game meant little and his team played like it.

However, it was far more curious that he refused to acknowledge that Dallas is playing below its own standard since beating Green Bay on Nov. 28.
