Aaron Jones breaks Packers fans' hearts with postgame celebration

This one really stings.

The Green Bay Packers' loss on Sunday was brutal for a bunch of reasons. For starters, it seemingly confirmed that the Minnesota Vikings – who were supposed to be the only easy out in the NFC North – are extremely for real, and that Kevin O'Connell is going to be a huge pain in the butt for the next decade.

It also wasn't a great game for The Discourse, which will definitely be normal now that the Packers have won both games with Malik Willis starting and lost both games with Jordan Love.

Love didn't even play terribly (32/54 with 389 yards, 4 TDs, 3 INTs), but as everyone knows, that doesn't matter to The Discourse. Some nationally-syndicated sports radio host is going to make Packers fan's life hell this week.

But the biggest kick in the gut for Packers fans on Sunday was Aaron Jones' return. Jones, who signed with the Vikings this offseason after spending the first seven years of his career in Green Bay, returned to Lambeau for the first time and proceeded to put up a game-high 93 rushing yards on 22 carries. As if that wasn't bad enough, his postgame celebration is the stuff of nightmares for Packers fans. No one's making you watch this video, just remember that. You can stop here.

Aaron Jones doing Lambeau Leaps for the Vikings is so bleak

Opposing Player Doing A Lambeau Leap After Beating The Packers is nothing new, but there's something distinctly different and painful about watching Jones be the guy who does it. It wasn't all that surprising to see him leave Green Bay after last season, and while some of his offseason quotes about the move hinted at his unhappiness with the front office, it felt like the two sides ultimately were both at peace with the decision.

The problem with that is now Jones is leading the undefeated Vikings to road wins in Green Bay. That wasn't part of the agreement. Everyone was on the same page about Jones saving his best performances for revenge games against the Detroit Lions and the Chicago Bears while running for a respectful-but-not-impactful 78 yards against the Packers.

This whole "make every Packers fan spiral into existential crisis" was not part of the arrangement. The only good news is that I'm 1000% positive 'Victory Vault' isn't going to catch on.
