Bears' Charles Leno asks girlfriend to marry him after victory
CHICAGO -- Bears left tackle Charles Leno was in a celebratory mood Sunday afternoon.
Minutes after the Bears clinched their first NFC North title since 2010 with a 24-17 victory over the Green Bay Packers, Leno got on one knee at midfield and proposed to his girlfriend, Jennifer, who had been escorted onto the field.
"It was coming soon, but once I found out we could clinch this week, and I was like, 'I have to speed things up. I have to speed up the process.' I kind of planned it earlier in the week," Leno said.
Leno and Jennifer, who said yes, were quickly surrounded and congratulated by several Bears teammates. Part of the proposal was also shown live on the Soldier Field Jumbotron.
