Wilson's eye-popping NFL catch helps Jets down Texans

Garrett Wilson has made a dazzling one-handed 26-yard go-ahead touchdown catch early in the fourth quarter and the New York Jets snapped a five-game losing streak by beating the Houston Texans 21-13.

Aaron Rodgers had three touchdown passes, including another earlier one-handed score by Wilson and a 37-yard throw to recently acquired Davante Adams, and the Jets (3-6) won for the first time in four games under interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich on Thursday night.

With the Jets trailing 10-7 and facing third-and-19 from the Texans 26, Rodgers tossed the ball up towards Wilson in the end zone. The star wide receiver jumped and reached up with his right hand with both legs spread in in the air — looking like the Michael Jordan "Jumpman" logo.

The play was initially called an incomplete pass, but a video replay review confirmed that Wilson's shin was down in the end zone and a touchdown was called to give the Jets a 14-10 lead with 12:54 left.

It sent the MetLife Stadium crowd into a frenzy after the fans had little to cheer for until that point.

Wilson's catch was reminiscent of the Giants' Odell Beckham Jr.'s one-handed grab against Dallas in 2014.

It also helped make up for a Jets touchdown that wasn't when rookie Malachi Corley made a mental mistake that negated his first NFL score.

With the Jets at the Texans 19 early in the second quarter, Corley took the toss from Rodgers and zipped down the right sideline into the end zone, but just before he crossed the goal line, he dropped the ball out of his right hand to celebrate.

A video review showed he had not gotten into the end zone before he dropped it. So, Corley was credited with an 18-yard run and a fumble. And because it rolled out of the side of the end zone, it was a touchback and a turnover.

Rodgers finished 22 of 32 for 211 yards. His 37-yard touchdown pass to Adams put the Jets up 21-10 with 2:56 left.

Ka'imi Fairbairn made a 29-yard field goal with 39 seconds left to make it an eight-point game, but Adams recovered the onside kick and the Jets were able to take a knee and seal the win.

C.J. Stroud was 11 of 30 for 191 yards for the Texans (6-3), who played the first of three consecutive primetime games for Houston, with a Sunday night home matchup against Detroit on November 10 and a Monday night meeting at Dallas on the 18th.
