The Detroit Lions are playing a crucial game against the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving. The Lions enter Week 13 out of the playoff picture in the NFC at 7-4. They are a half-game behind the San Francisco 49ers for the final Wild Card spot. Meanwhile, their Turkey Day opponent sits sixth in the standings at 7-3-1.

In other words, a win on Thanksgiving will move the Lions ahead of the Packers.

Following an early field goal from Green Bay, the Lions' offense got the ball. Unfortunately, things did not go well as Green Bay forced a three-and-out. Less than five minutes later, things got even worse.

Pro Bowl wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown suffered an injury after being rolled up on. He was seen heading to the locker room and is questionable to return with an ankle injury.

The Lions are already without tight end Sam LaPorta. The Pro Bowl tight end suffered a back injury and recently underwent a surgical procedure. LaPorta is not expected to return this season.

Detroit fans are likely holding their breath in the hope that St. Brown can return.

Not long afterward, the Packers' offense kicked into gear. Josh Jacobs ripped off a few long runs, and Jordan Love found Dontayvion Wicks for a 22-yard touchdown pass on 4th and 2.

Detroit's offense has been lethal at home. But if St. Brown is unable to return, against an elite defense, yards and points may be hard to come by.

Green Bay leads 10-0 early in the second quarter.
