The Indianapolis Colts didn't face a must-win situation in Week 14. Those games are truly meant for whether a team's playoff hopes are made real or whether they are completely dashed. Instead, Indy played a game that had an even more dire effect on the rest of the season.
Quarterback Daniel Jones, already playing with a broken fibula on his left leg, tore the Achilles tendon on his right leg and will be out 9-12 months. He obviously is out for the rest of this season, but he could not be available for next season, either. Backup Riley Leonard took his place and played three quarters against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
