Simone Biles was overjoyed on Thanksgiving as she watched husband Jonathan Owens score a defensive touchdown for the Green Bay Packers.
In a big surprise, the Packers came out of the blocks against Detroit on Thursday in the first of three Thanksgiving games.
They took a 23-6 lead into halftime thanks to three early touchdowns, one of which was a huge defensive turnover.
Packers linebacker Rashan Gary was able to get to Lions quarterback Jarred Goff and force a strip sack.
The ball fell kindly to Owens, who picked it up and ran into the end zone from 27 yards.

Biles immediately turned to X, formerly known as Twitter, to express her joy over her husband’s play.
In response to the NFL posting a video of his touchdown, she wrote, “THAT’S MY HUSBAND!!!!!!!!! MY MANS MY MANS MY MANSSSSS LFGGGGGGOOOOOO!’
Later in the match, Owens produced a huge tackle to stop Lions Jahmyr Gibbs chasing him in his tracks.
The seven-time Olympic medalist is a passionate fan of her husband and regularly attends his Packers games.
Just last week, she was at Lambeau Field to watch him beat the Los Angeles Chargers 23-20.
The 26-year-old gymnast dressed for the occasion as she donned a black puffer jacket with number 34, Owens’ jersey number, emblazoned on the front in Packers green and completed the look with emerald green sunglasses.

Owens and Biles tied the knot for the second time in a lavish ceremony in Cabo San Lucas in May.
They previously exchanged vows on April 22 in Houston, Texas to make their marriage legal ahead of their wedding in Mexico.
Biles was a regular at her husband’s NFL games and even claimed that the only benefit of the postponement of the 2020 Olympics was that she could cheer him on in person.
She has remained a supportive wife throughout the NFL season, proudly congratulating Owens when he signed with the Packers in May and revealing that she “cried her eyes out” after sending him off to training camp.
