U.S. Olympic seven-time gold medal-winning gymnast Simone Biles had reason to be excited during Sunday’s NFL game between the Tennessee Titans and Chicago Bears.
During the third quarter, Biles’ husband, Jonathan Owens, recovered a blocked punt attempt and returned it for a touchdown. The score cut the Titans’ lead to 17-10 and gave life to the Soldier Field crowd that was largely quieted by an early 17-3 lead for Tennessee.
Biles, who just won four gold medals in Paris, reacted to her husband’s play with two posts on X, formerly known as Twitter — one that said “I ALMOST HAD A HEART ATTACK” and another that said simply “my heart.”
It was only the second touchdown in Owens’ career. The 29-year-old safety is playing in his 49th NFL game and his first for the Bears. He played in 17 games for the Green Bay Packers last season and started his career with the Houston Texans in 2019.
Last season, Owens had a 27-yard fumble recovery score against the Detroit Lions.
Biles and Owens met in 2020, when Biles was getting ready to compete in the Olympics in Tokyo. The two got engaged on Valentine’s Day in 2022 and married in April 2023.
