Green Bay Packers last night notched up a victory over the Detroit Lions in a dominating fashion. The scoreline at the end of the match read 35-17 with Aaron Jones playing a pivotal role in the Packers win. The Packers RB gave his all in his first home game at Lambeau Field since the death of his father. Earlier this year, Aaron Jones lost his father, Alvin Jones Sr to Coronavirus. He played last night with a special football chain on his neck, which had his father’s ashes in it. Unfortunately, he lost the chain on the ground while completing a touchdown against the Lions “HIS ASHES ARE IN IT” AARON JONES REVEALS HE LOST HIS NECKLACE CONTAINING HIS FATHER’S ASHES DURING THE MATCH Packers’ [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/green-bay-packers/] Aaron Jones had an influential performance against the Lions [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/detroit-lions/]. Three of his six receptions resulted in first-half touchdowns. He also had 17 carries for 67 yards and a touchdown on the ground. Post-match, he made a stunning revelation by sharing how he lost his chain containing his father’s ashes in it during the match. “He was really on my heart. I actually have a chain with a football and his ashes are in it. I scored and it fell off in the end zone. So, I’ll go look for it but he’d be happy. He’d be like if you lose it anywhere, lost it in the end zone,” Jones told ESPN’s, Lisa Salters [via Fox News [https://www.foxnews.com/sports/packers-aaron-jones-lost-chain-fathers-ashes-inside]]. Aaron later updated that the ground authorities are looking for it.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Detroit Lions 2022: News, Schedule, Roster, Score, Injury Report</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">The club was originally founded in Portsmouth, Ohio, and enlisted in the NFL in 1930 going by the Portsmouth Spartans banner. 4 years later, in 1934, the team relocated to Detroit citing financial struggles. Furthermore, the franchise was renamed to the Lions with reference to the city’s MLB counterpart franchise going by the Tigers.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-483977 size-full" src="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/lyon.jpg" alt="" width="1080" height="991" />
<p style="text-align: center">The very next year, they enjoyed tremendous success as they went on to win 4 championship games between 1935 to 1957. However, their success hasn’t seen the same peak since then, as they have only won a single playoff game in 1992.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Additionally, they are the oldest NFL franchise to never appear in the Super Bowl. They also go down as the only team from the NFC to not appear for the same. This has long since been a talking point surrounding the franchise, considering their tenure in the league.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-483986 size-full" src="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/wire.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="600" />
<p style="text-align: center">Heading through to Week 14 of the 2020 season, the Detroit Lions have accrued a record of 5-8 and are placed 4th in the NFC North. However, this is an improvement from their previous season record that topped out at 3-12-1. Moreover, the principal owner Martha Firestone Ford stepped down and passed on the ownership to her daughter Sheila Ford Hamp on June 23rd, 2020.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Logo</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">The classic blue prancing Lion logo was brought into the fold from the 1961 season but wouldn’t be made the primary logo till 1970. The logo has seen minor reiterations, chiefly stemming from a stylistic change to the outline. The Honolulu blue outline was swapped for a black outline after 2002, and it ran until 2008.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-483982 size-full" src="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/def.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="720" />
<p style="text-align: center">The present logo of the Detroit Lions has been active since February 1st, 2017, and underwent a minor tweak from the previous design that ran from 2009 to 2016. Chiefly, the difference was the change in the color of the outline, which went from black to metallic silver.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Detroit Lions Owner Achievements</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">Sheila Ford Hamp is a descendant of both Ford and Firestone family fortunes, and she became the principal owner in June 2020 when her mother Martha Firestone Ford stepped down. Prior to her role as the principal owner and chairperson, Sheila Hamp served as the vice chairperson of the Detroit Lions since 2014.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-483995 size-full" src="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/huddle.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1280" />
<p style="text-align: center">Additionally, she serves on the NFL’s Super Bowl and Major Events committee alongside many key figures in the league. Following a 4-7 start to the 2020 season under her ownership, Sheila would fire General Manager Bob Quinn and Head Coach Matt Patricia.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Detroit Lions 2022 Sponsors</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">A marquee sponsor out of Detroit came in the form of Quick Lane Tire and auto center, which provides routine service and up-keep maintenance for its customers. Additionally, they have had successful tie-ups with Quicken Loans as well as Windsor Family Credit Union. Additionally, the Detroit Lions have also partnered up with Coppercraft Distillery and they offered branded products at 6 bar locations within the parameters of Ford Field.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">BetMGM has also joined up with the Lions and will be the first official sports betting partner for the franchise. Not to mention, the Detroit Lions have a partnership with Humanetics who serve as the presenting sponsor for the club. Events are put together to recognize and honor active duty and former service members.</p>
