Simone Biles, the most successful gymnast in history, cheered on her husband, Jonathan Owens, as he scored a touchdown for the Packers in their game against the Lions on Thanksgiving Day. Biles and Owens, who tied the knot in April this year, had a special reason to be thankful, as Owens made his first career touchdown on a fumble recovery in the first quarter.

Owens, a 28-year-old defensive back, gave Green Bay a 20–6 lead when he picked up a loose ball and ran it back 27 yards to the end zone. Biles shared her joy on social media, posting a picture of Owens and congratulating him on his impressive play.

Owens, who signed with the Packers less than a month after his wedding, had previously played for the Cardinals and Texans. He had a stellar season with Houston last year, racking up 125 tackles in 17 games, and he has been a consistent contributor for Green Bay this season, playing in all 11 games.
