Garrett Wilson was the 10th overall pick by the Jets in the 2022 NFL draft [Reuters]
Garrett Wilson made two spectacular touchdown catches as the New York Jets ended their five-game losing run with a 21-13 comeback win over the Houston Texans.
Star quarterback Aaron Rodgers was also influential, completing 22 of 32 passes for 211 yards and three touchdown passes as the Jets won for the first time since September.
It was also the Jets’ first victory under interim coach Jeff Ulbrich, and moves them up to second in the AFC East.
The highlight was two acrobatic one-handed catches by Wilson in the third and fourth quarters.
His first take early in the third quarter levelled the scores. The second was even more impressive, Wilson leaping split-legged to meet Rodgers’ 26-yard pass at the back of the end zone.
It was originally ruled an incomplete pass because Wilson did not get both feet down in the end zone, but the decision was reversed after a video review.
New York had trailed 7-0 at half-time following a sluggish opening. Rodgers completed just seven of 14 passing attempts for 32 yards – a first-half career low.
Rookie receiver Malachi Corley also had a touchdown ruled out after a video review showed his premature celebration caused him to drop the ball before the goal line.
Joe Mixon scored the only touchdown in reply for the Texans, who stay top of the AFC South despite a third defeat of the season.
