Daniel Jones left the game against the Jaguars with an apparent Achilles injury. The potential serious leg injury to Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones could have a massive impact on the playoff hopes of the Detroit Lions.

Thursday night's game now features two teams that would be out of the playoffs if the season ended before Week 14, but the matchup has become what amounts to an elimination game. With a loss, the Lions' chances to make the playoffs dip to 19%, according to NFL.com. The Cowboys' chances would go all the way down to 9% with a loss.

Some potential help could soon be on the way for the Detroit Lions, as they could potentially be in the market for some help in the secondary with a former player on the market.

As it stands, the Lions remain on the outside of the playoff picture. They're eighth in the NFC, meaning they sit just one spot outside of the seven-team playoff field. In the NFC North, they are in third place behind the Green Bay Packers (8-4-1) and the Chicago Bears (9-3), which currently hold the top seed.

The Arizona Cardinals were officially eliminated from playoff contention with their 20-17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.

The Dallas Cowboys and Detroit Lions fight for their playoff lives as they meet in Detroit in the second straight Thursday night contest for both sides since Thanksgiving Day.
