Things weren't going particularly well for the Chicago Bearson Sunday, but things eventually turned around in a hurry to not spoil the start of the season.

Chicago's offensive line looked terrible; the defense was put to the test, needing to be on the field constantly. While I won't panic about Caleb Williams' performance, I'm not stopping you from doing what your heart tells you. The day started to turn around on a punt block, which was both nice to see and rather telling about how the day's gone.

It was cathartic to watch, and it as more than just Bears fans who were hyped up to see the big moment.

Every Bears fan on the planet may recognize that the guy who scored the touchdown is reserve safety Jonathan Owens, the husband of 11-time Olympic medalist Simone Biles.

Biles has gotten a crash course in being a Bears fan over the last few months, and her reaction to Owens' touchdown is both deeply relatable for fans of the Bears and also for fans of marriage.

Simone Biles' first game as a Bears fan is going about as expected

This rules. We love a celebrity power couple, and the fact that the greatest gymnast of all time is actively cheering for the Bears every week this season is one of the more fun stories of the season.

Consistently almost having a heart attack is one of the many perks of being a Bears fan, so Biles is fitting in nicely already. You just know that she's already dealing with the esoteric dread of watching another highly drafted QB struggle to get to 100 passing yards. It's a little bit rude of the Bears to give her the full Bears Experience in Game 1, but I guess there's no point in waiting around.

Good luck, 11-time Olympic medalist Simone Biles. If anyone can handle a routine as difficult as rooting for this team, it's you.
