CHICAGO — After Sunday's win over the Green Bay Packers, Bears player Charles Leno celebrated with a proposal to his girlfriend, Jennifer Roth. With only a few minutes left in the game, Bears staff asked Roth to walk onto the field. Leno then got down on one knee, and popped the big question.
She said yes!
The Bears won 24-17 over the Packers Sunday and clinched the NFC North division title. Leno was flagged for a false start earlier in the game, but the offensive lineman finished strong.
