Simone Biles offers emotional support to Jonathan Owens as Bears’ season ends

The Chicago Bears’ season ended in overtime, and the moment landed hard inside the locker room and beyond it. As the playoff run closed for safety, Jonathan Owens and Simone Biles stayed present, steady, and visible. Her response after the loss showed a quieter form of support, one that focused on the reality of how an NFL season ends.

Biles has attended Bears games throughout the season, often sharing game-day looks and stadium moments on social media. This time, the focus shifted from appearance to emotion. What she posted after the loss connected directly to the abrupt nature of playoff football, where months of work end in a single night.

Jonathan Owens and Bears’ season ends in the divisional round as Simone Biles documented the matchup

Chicago’s Bears playoff run ended on January 18, 2026, with a 20-17 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Rams at Soldier Field. Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford passed for 258 yards. Kyren Williams rushed for 87 yards and scored two touchdowns. Kicker Harrison Mevis hit the walk-off field goal in overtime to send Los Angeles to the NFC Championship.

The loss closed a breakthrough season for the Bears. Under first-year head coach Ben Johnson, Chicago went 11-6, won the NFC North for the first time since 2018, and reached the playoffs for the first time in 15 years. Owens played a steady role in the secondary during the run.

Two days later, on January 21, Biles posted a TikTok titled “editing the last playoff game like a reality show.” The video featured raw stadium audio, sideline reactions, and unedited moments from the night. There was no background music and no added effects. The clip focused on pauses, reactions, and the silence that follows a season-ending loss.

The post stood out because it reflected the emotional shift that comes after playoff elimination. Instead of celebration, the video showed waiting, watching, and processing the result. It captured what players and families face once the season ends.

Earlier, on game day, Biles had shared her preparation before kickoff. On January 18, she posted a step-by-step TikTok from Chicago, detailing her hairstyle and outfit choice for the cold weather at Soldier Field. She finished the look with a light balayage wig and winter-ready styling.

After the loss, the content changed. The tone became restrained and reflective. For Owens, the season ended on the field. For Biles, the response focused on staying present through that moment. The posts showed that while the Bears’ season stopped in overtime, the support around the team did not.
