Cowboys reflect on what went wrong

HOUSTON: Change was the operative word for Dallas Cowboys head coach Wade Phillips on Monday as he reflected on a campaign that came to a shuddering halt at the weekend.

After starting the season as one of the favourites to make the Super Bowl, the Cowboys were eliminated from playoff contention with a 44-6 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.

For the third time in four seasons, Dallas finished with a win-loss record of 9-7 and Phillips, who has been retained by team owner Jerry Jones, has pledged to overhaul his strategy.
