Simone Biles pumped up as husband Jonathan Owens scores epic TD vs Lions
The Thanksgiving Day divisional battle between the Detroit Lions and the Green Bay Packers got off to a wild start, and U.S. gymnastics icon Simone Biles thoroughly enjoyed it.
The four-time Summer Olympics gold medallist couldn't contain her excitement after her husband, Packers star Jonathan Owens, scored his first career touchdown. The safety was covering wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown when a fumble bounced in his direction.
While some Lions players walked back to the line of scrimmage believing it was an incomplete pass, Owens was alert and picked up the ball before finding his way into the end zone for the scoop-and-score. After review, the Packers were awarded the touchdown. Watch the wild play below:

Owens' touchdown helped the 4-6 Green Bay Packers extend their lead.
They eventually wrapped up a 29-22 win over the Lions, picking up their fifth win of the season, good enough for third in the NFC North standings.

The pair laid the foundation of their new house earlier this year, right before officially tying the knot.
Jonathan Owens said Biles were officially married in Cabo, Mexico, in front of 144 guests in May.
