Formidable Jones leads Green Bay Packers past division rivals Detroit 35-17 at Lambeau Field
Green Bay Packers hero Jones loses father's ashes scoring a touchdown

Green Bay's Aaron Jones celebrates his touchdown run during the second half of Monday’s game with a leap into the Lambeau Field crowd. 

While celebrating one of his four touchdowns, Aaron Jones lost a necklace he wears with a little black football containing some of the ashes of his late father. That was just about the only thing that went wrong for Jones and the Green Bay Packers against the Detroit Lions.

Jones caught three of Aaron Rodgers’ four TD passes and rushed for a fourth score, and the Packers had a welcome return to normal, dominating the second half in a 35-17 win over the division rival Lions on Monday night.
