Green Bay Packers last night notched up a victory over the Detroit Lions in a dominating fashion. The scoreline at the end of the match read 35-17 with Aaron Jones playing a pivotal role in the Packers win. The Packers RB gave his all in his first home game at Lambeau Field since the death of his father.

Earlier this year, Aaron Jones lost his father, Alvin Jones Sr to Coronavirus. He played last night with a special football chain on his neck, which had his father’s ashes in it. Unfortunately, he lost the chain on the ground while completing a touchdown against the Lions

“He was really on my heart. I actually have a chain with a football and his ashes are in it. I scored and it fell off in the end zone. So, I’ll go look for it but he’d be happy. He’d be like if you lose it anywhere, lost it in the end zone,” Jones told ESPN’s, Lisa Salters [via Fox News]. Aaron later updated that the ground authorities are looking for it.

Aaron Jones was very clearly attached to his father. He lost his father to Coronavirus complications in April this year. “He was at every game, and before the game, I would go to a certain spot where he was sitting. I’m still going to go there and have my moment with him,” he said in May, via KTSM-TV.

“I know he’s there; he’s got the best seat in the house. I know he’s up there watching me and it’ll be special.”
