Just his first game with the Chicago Bears and he scored a stunning touchdown. “Jonathan Owens welcome to Chicago,” the commentators noted as the player scored the TD after the Titans’ punt was blocked by the Bears’ defensive lineman, Daniel Hardy. Owens was right where he needed to be because he effortlessly scooped the ball and ran. The Bears won the game 24-17, and their defense allowed no offensive touchdowns in the win against the Titans. Simone Biles couldn’t stay still!

Biles shared the iconic video on her social media and stated, “I ALMOST HAD A HEART ATTACK.” This was a role reversal for the couple as just a month prior, it was Jonathan Owens getting the chills watching Biles rake up Olympic gold medals.

Reacting to Biles’ excitement right after he had his insane Bears moment, Owens sat down on the ‘Sippin’ with Screeden’ podcast and discussed it. Owens mentioned that after the initial adrenaline subsided, he remembered his wife. However, while the new hero of Bears thought he would find his wife in utter shock, Biles seemed to have composed herself by the time the game was over.

Owens said, “This is crazy, so I’m on the field, and maybe like 10 minutes later I finally come back to it and I’m like shoot Simone’s probably freaking out. So yeah, she’s good though, she was getting her hair done, so I’m glad she didn’t like to get some hair pulled out or something, you know, and start screaming.”

Unfortunately, Biles won’t be able to attend the upcoming Houston Texans vs. Chicago Bears. The star gymnast has a very busy schedule; Especially with her forthcoming Gold Over America Tour- People expect it to be like a pop concert that will showcase Biles’ Olympic journey alongside other American gymnasts.

Simone Biles freaking out over a Bears touchdown—Is this the ultimate sports couple moment?

Have an interesting take?

So this could mean that Simone Biles might miss a few Bears games, just like Owens had to miss quite a lot of her important events after making a comeback from her Tokyo debacle. But the NFL player knew he had to be there for his wife at the 2024 Paris Olympics. As a result, he prepared in advance.

How Owens managed to take a leave from the Bears in a bizarre manner

Jonathan Owens’ training with the Chicago Bears kicked off on July 26, right as the Olympics were heating up. For Owens, missing Simone Biles’ historic performances in Paris wasn’t an option—especially since he had witnessed nearly all of her big moments live after Tokyo. But with training camp in full swing, asking for time off was no easy feat. So, he devised a clever plan.

Speaking on the ‘Intercepted’ podcast with Kevin Byard, Owens shared how he subtly orchestrated his leave by getting his agent to “put it in people’s ears.” Soon enough, word spread around the Bears camp that Owens’ wife was on the brink of history, vying for more Olympic glory.

His clever strategy paid off—what started as a request for two days off turned into a full five-day leave, giving him the chance to watch Biles clinch four more Olympic medals in Paris.
