During the game, Owens came away with a tackle. Overall, the game was defined by two moments. First, the superb play of Caleb Williams late in the game. Then, there was the heroics of safety CJ Gardner-Johnson , whose two sacks helped catapult the Bears into a comeback victory.

The last time the Bears started 6-3 was in 2018. At the time, they were led by coach Matt Nagy and Mitch Trubisky at QB. That year, they finished 12-4 and made it to the playoffs, only to lose the Wild Card game to the Philadelphia Eagles 16-15.
Now with Williams as QB and Ben Johnson as head coach, the Bears have won six out of their last seven games. Meanwhile, Biles and Owens are among the most popular celebrity couples at the convergence of sports and entertainment.
They don't call it the Windy City for nothing.
Chicago is famously known as the "Windy City" for a reason. The winds off of Lake Michigan during late fall and into winter are often extreme. Soldier Field is situated not too far from Lake Michigan, within walking distance, to be exact.

As a result, fans, players, and coaches like to bundle up to capacity.
