Aaron Jones, playing for his father who died of COVID-19 complications, has huge night in Packers win

During the Monday night broadcast, ESPN's Lisa Salters said Aaron Jones dedicated this season to his father, Alvin. Alvin Jones died due to complications from COVID-19 in April.

Monday night had to be pretty special for Aaron Jones, in a few ways.

Jones had a great night when the Green Bay Packers needed it most. With the Detroit Lions playing two safeties deep most of the game to take away Aaron Rodgers' passing game to Davante Adams, the Packers decided that they'd run with Jones until the Lions stopped him.
