In between her dominance as the greatest gymnast ever, Simone Biles occasionally spends her time rooting for the Green Bay Packers. A Columbus, Ohio native, Biles became a Packers fan expressly because the team signed her husband, safety Jonathan Owens, for the 2023 season. (Note: Biles was the one to make the announcement for Owens.)
That meant Biles had an extra special motivation for Green Bay’s matchup with the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving. Early on, the Packers got the quick jump on Detroit to the tune of a 14-6 lead. But then a Jared Goff fumble from the shadow of the Lions’ end zone led to an Owens recovery, who took it back for a defensive touchdown in what started to resemble a laugher:
WOW. @packers defense forces the fumble and takes it in for the touchdown

Naturally, Biles was over the moon seeing her husband score in front of the entire country watching at home on a holiday:
