Wade Phillips says officials made right call on fourth-and-one

Cowboys coach Wade Phillips had a different perspective than Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb on the key fourth-and-one play in the fourth quarter. McNabb said he ``felt like half my body was past the marker'' on the sneak. The officials disagreed, spotting the ball short of the first down. The Cowboys expected the sneak because the Eagles had run it earlier. So they packed the defensive linemen, and Jay Ratliff and Marcus Spears came up big. ``We had a special defense ready for that,'' Phillips said. ``I was on the side where he sneaked to, and it was obvious he didn't make it. Surprisingly, he didn't reach the ball out. If he had reached the ball out farther, maybe it would have been closer. He actually lost a little bit. Our guys knocked him backward. He fell on the pile, which wasn't as far as where the ball was originally.''
