Bears safety Jonathan Owens celebrated his recovery Sunday afternoon with a gymnastics celebration in honor of his wife Simone Biles.

Owens forced a Vikings fumble at the 1-yard line and recovered it at the 2. He posted up with both arms in the air, as a gymnast would.

Biles, the greatest female gymnast in history, was in attendance. She wore a blue jacket with the word ‘Owens’ written on the front. The Bears included her on their halftime break; they introduced Olympic medalists from around the state and had Biles run out of the tunnel last.

Owens said after the game that the Bears talk about getting “four-point plays” — converting a touchdown into a field goal.

“It really became a seven-point game because it kept them out of the end zone. …” he said. “I just thought, ‘Make a play, man.’”

Owens started his first game this season, replacing Eliah Hicks, who started in place of concussed Jaquan Brisker.

”I was born in Pennsylvania and raised in Pittsburgh, but Chicago is my home. . . and it’s my life. It’s the people I miss – I miss more than anything,” Ditka said Monday after returning a few days ago from several years in Florida.

In each of the Bears’ five consecutive losses, the question was “What’s going on?” moments of Eberflus, and there is no indication that he learns from them.

As the Bears’ offense builds momentum under new coordinator Thomas Brown, the defense is moving in the opposite direction. Over the last five games – all losses – the Bears’ defense ranks 18th in points allowed (23.2 average) and 31st in yards (395.4 average).
