Charles Leno Jr. helped the Chicago Bears win over the Green Bay Packers to clinch the NFC North championship on Sunday — the team’s first division title since 2010. But that wasn’t the only celebration for the left tackle.
“Jennifer Marie Roth, would you like to be … Jennifer Marie Leno Jr.? Will you? Will you accept?” said the NFL star, who is in his fifth season with the Bears according to theTribune.
After Roth said “yes,” many of her fiancé’s teammates, including Prince Amukamara and Trey Burton, congratulated the couple as they high-fived and hugged while dressed in their championship caps.
She showed off the ring as the crowd cheered.

The engagement came after Leno secured his first-ever playoff appearance.
“I checked off so many things today,” he told theTribune.
“You know what the big one is. But I never beat the Packers at home. I’ve never had a winning season, never had double-digit wins. Have never been the NFC (North) champions. I’ve been through some dark days here, and this is one of the greatest days of my life,” Leno Jr. said to theTribune.
Detailing where he kept the ring while he was on the field, Leno Jr. joked to the outlet, “I had it my sock. I’m kidding. It was in a very safe place.”
