Scott PolacekSep 21, 2021

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones wore a football chain that contained his father's ashes during Monday's game against the Detroit Lions, but he lost it after scoring a touchdown.

Jones revealed as much after the game during an ESPN interview  (h/t Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette) and said the grounds crew had not yet found it.

"If there was any place to lose it, I know that's where my dad would want me to lose it," he said. "I know he's smiling."
