The only thing Alex Anzalone could think about since last weekend were his parents. Even after leading the Detroit Lions with 11 tackles in the team's 42-24 win over the Carolina Panthers, Sal and Judy Anzalone stayed on his mind.
Last weekend, a massive conflict erupted in Israel that trapped his parents and 51 members of their church who were visiting the country.
On Thursday morning, the linebacker thanked everyone who prayed for him and his family as the church group was finally able to return home. Judy posted on social media that they made it back safely.."It's been a scary, anxiety filled several days but my parents are headed home safely. So many people to thank but I know this, God is good."
After the Lions' victory on Sunday, Anzalone told the Detroit News that he was struggling to focus on anything besides his parents well being.On Oct. 2, Sal, Judy and members of First Naples arrived in Israel for a tour of Jerusalem. Hamas, the Palestinian militant group, began a surprise attack in Gaza, and more thanDetroit is on the road Sunday in a battle of division leaders.
