Simone Biles shared an emotional moment with her husband, Chicago Bears safety Jonathan Owens, moments after Chicago’s dramatic 31–27 comeback victory over the Green Bay Packers in an NFC wild-card playoff game at Soldier Field on Saturday night.
The seven-time Olympic gold medalist joined the on-field celebrations following the win, with photos later posted to her Instagram Stories capturing the couple hugging and kissing amid the postgame excitement.
The Bears entered the fourth quarter trailing 21–6 before staging a stunning rally, scoring on four straight drives. Rookie quarterback Caleb Williams spearheaded the comeback, delivering the go-ahead touchdown pass with under two minutes remaining to seal the victory.
Williams, who was the first overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, completed 24 of 48 passes for 361 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions in his playoff debut. After the game, the former USC quarterback pointed to belief across the roster as the key to the turnaround.
He said, “That’s all you need. You got belief in the coaches that they’re gonna call the right play at the right time. You got belief in the players on the field that you’re gonna make the right play at the right time.”
Williams also leaned into the rivalry during the postgame celebration, donning a cheese grater hat that quickly caught fans’ attention. Simone Biles had previously worn the same accessory during Chicago’s Week 16 overtime win over Green Bay, a 22–16 victory, making it a playful symbol of the Bears’ recent success against their longtime rivals.

Chicago will now host a divisional-round playoff game next weekend. If the sixth-seeded San Francisco 49ers defeat the third-seeded Philadelphia Eagles, the fifth-seeded Los Angeles Rams will travel to Chicago.
If Philadelphia advances, the Eagles will head to Soldier Field instead. Meanwhile, the NFC’s top seed, the Seattle Seahawks, will host the lowest remaining seed based on the results of the weekend.

Simone Biles added to the Chicago Bears’ postgame buzz with a playful jab at the Green Bay Packers following Chicago’s 31–27 wild-card playoff win at Soldier Field on Sunday. Shortly after the victory, Biles shared an Instagram Story wearing an oversized foam hat shaped like a kitchen cheese grater, an accessory that quickly stood out amid the celebrations.
The cheese grater hat serves as a tongue-in-cheek parody of the Packers’ iconic foam cheesehead hats, long associated with Wisconsin’s dairy heritage. Within Chicago’s locker room and fan base, the grater has become a humorous way to flip the rivalry on its head—turning cheese into a punchline at Green Bay’s expense.

Several Bears players joined in on the joke during postgame celebrations, including wide receiver D.J. Moore and quarterback Caleb Williams, as photos circulated across social media.
Biles had worn the same style of hat earlier in the season following Chicago’s December overtime win over the Packers, a moment that helped popularize the accessory among Bears fans and gave the visual renewed traction during the team’s late-season surge.
