EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — In a thrilling moment during the game, Garrett Wilson executed a spectacular acrobatic one-handed catch for a 26-yard touchdown, propelling the New York Jets ahead of the Houston Texans in the fourth quarter. The remarkable play ignited the excitement among fans in MetLife Stadium.
Facing a challenging third-and-19 situation from the Texans’ 26-yard line, quarterback Aaron Rodgers launched a pass toward Wilson stationed in the end zone. The talented Jets wide receiver showcased his athleticism and skill as he leaped to make a stunning catch.
With legs extended much like the iconic Michael Jordan logo, Wilson managed to secure the ball mid-air and gracefully landed within the end zone territory. Initially, the referees ruled the play as an incomplete pass. However, following a review of the video footage, it was determined that Wilson’s shin made contact with the ground inside the end zone, leading to the confirmation of a touchdown.
This pivotal moment shifted the score to 14-10 in favor of the Jets, leaving 12:54 remaining on the clock in the fourth quarter. Wilson’s impressive catch not only highlighted his extraordinary talent but also energized the crowd, marking a key turning point in the matchup against the Texans.
