GREEN BAY, Wis. - Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones was playing Monday night with a heavy heart and left it all on the field in the team’s 35-17 victory over the Detroit Lions.

Jones was playing in his first home game at Lambeau Field since the death of his father, Alvin Jones Sr., earlier this year. Alvin Jones Sr. died of complications from coronavirus in April. He was 57.

The star running back said in May he was dedicating the rest of his career to his father.
