Simone biles wasn’t attendance as the Chicago Bears crushed the Jacksonville Jaguars on October 13 but she still celebrated her husband with a loving message posted online by the artistic gymnast.
Biles enjoyed the support of her man throughout the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris and now it’s time to repay the favor as Jonathan Owens competes in the NFL with the Bears, who earned an impressive 35-16 victory on Sunday.
Owens, a safety, helped keep the Floridians away from his own red zone and produced one tackle in the blowout win as Trevor Lawrence struggled to produce anything worthwhile for the Jaguars.
And Biles, although she wasn’t in the stands, still celebrated the win by posting, “Bear down baby,” to her Instagram Stories as Biles becomes immersed in Chicago football months after being criticized for wearing Green Bay Packers merch to their preseason contest.
Why couldn’t Biles attend?
Biles could attend the clash to watch Owens in person due to two key factors breaking their schedules apart for the weekend.
Firstly, she is currently on her Gold All Over Tour (GOAT, also meaning Greatest Of All-Time) and is touring across the United States whilst the NFL match between the Jaguars and Bears was hosted in London.
Games in Europe are part of the league’s aims to grow the sport out, but for Biles it means it was simply unfeasible for her to make the trip to watch Owens play.
Who do the Bears play in Week 7?
Perhaps having someone with 11 Olympic gold medals in the locker watching on is inspiring Caleb Williams’ breakout and recognize his potential as one of the most hyped quarterback prospects in NFL history.
The Bears’ star threw for 226 yards and four touchdowns in the win for 23 completions from 29 attempts, earning a QB Rating of 88.4 and an overall rating of 124.4 as he begins to assert himself in the league.
But he will get a rest next weekend as the .666 Bears take their bye week, meaning his next clash will be a box office match-up against the Jayden Daniels’ 4-2 Washington Commanders on Sunday, October 27 at the North-West Stadium from 12:00 ET/09:00 PT.
