On an incredible night for Aaron Jones, the Green Bay Packers running back found a way to turn what could have been an awful moment into a positive.
Jones found the end zone four times against the Detroit Lions, and he did so while wearing a chain with a small football on it that contained his late father’s ashes in it. The chain apparently fell off during one of those scores in the end zone.
But Jones said he thinks his father would be happy that if he lost it anywhere, that it was in the end zone.
Here’s the clip:
