Cowboys coach Wade Phillips isn't focused on the fact that he's in the final year of his contract. Dallas owner Jerry Jones has an option for next season, but has chosen to let the season end before addressing the coach's future. "That's the way I've always coached," Phillips said. "Way back [in Denver], when we were 10-6, 10-6, 11-5 and went to two AFC Championship Games and we got fired, I realized that, hey, you can do a great job and for whatever reason, you can be gone. "So I stopped worrying about all that and worry about coaching, trying to do the best I can do to help the team win. That?s all I really think about." The Cowboys are 6-3 and in sole possession of first place in the NFC East.
