The 49ers opened their "Monday Night Football" matchup with the Browns scoring 14 unanswered points, but perhaps the most meaningful highlight happened prior to kickoff.
During pre-game festivities, San Francisco defensive tackle D.J. Jones proposed to his girlfriend.
He was surrounded by friends, teammates and family on the sideline about an hour and a half before the game started at Levi's Stadium. Jones had to first distract his now-fiancée, Kayla Fannin, so he pointed to the scoreboard across the field and then popped the question.
Spoiler: Fannin said "Yes."
Among those cheering was teammate Marquise Goodwin, who also celebrated the proposal.

Jones was a sixth-round pick in the 2017 draft out of Mississippi.
He has started in all three games for the 49ers this season after getting the starting nod in just four of 10 games last year. Jones has four tackles through his first three games.
