Green Bay Packers Aaron Jones shone in the first regular-season game with a packed house at Lambeau Field since the death of his father from Covid-19
LOS ANGELES – Aaron Jones scored four touchdowns in the Green Bay Packers’ 35-17 win over the Detroit Lions on Sunday, but all he could think about was a family necklace he lost in the endzone at Lambeau Field.
The running back said the necklace was fitted with an ornament in the shape of a football, and inside he had placed the ashes of his father, who died of Covid-19 in April.
“He was really on my heart,” Jones said on the field after the game. “I scored and it fell off in the endzone so I have to go look for it… We have to find it.”
“He would be happy,” he added. “He would be like if you lose it anywhere then lose it in the endzone.”
