"I hate losing, so there’s no way I could have done that in the right spirit after a loss," Reaves said after the game. "That thing was burning a hole in my pocket."

The one-time All-Pro safety said he was planning on doing it last week but decided to do it after the game instead. He gave Worley’s family the heads-up before proposing.

"If we win this game, it’s destiny," Reaves said. "She’s earned it. I can’t say enough about her. When I was at my lowest last year, she was there to pick me up every day. She showed up. That’s my best friend. Been my best friend since high school."
