What happened: Commentator Skip Bayless argued that the Philadelphia Eagles' loss of quarterback Jalen Hurts clears a path for the Dallas Cowboys in the division race. Calling the group the 'NFC Least,' Bayless wrote that the worse the Cowboys play, the better their chances become of taking the division crown.

Why it matters: Hurts' absence removes Philadelphia's offensive centerpiece during the regular season. A setback for the Eagles' starting quarterback alters the balance of the NFC East race as Dallas looks to capitalize.

What to watch: Philadelphia's upcoming regular-season schedule will test how the Eagles' offense operates without Hurts under center.
