Dodgers’ Gonsolin to miss opening day due to injury

The Cowboys went on to their second consecutive playoff berth with a 12-5 record, beating Tampa Bay in the wild-card round before a divisional loss to San Francisco.

During Prescott’s absence, Rush threw for 956 yards with five touchdowns and three interceptions.
