Jets WR Garrett Wilson’s 1-handed grab vs. Texans might be catch of the year

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson might have just made the catch of the year and the Houston Texans are on the wrong side of history.

Remember when Odell Beckham Jr. made one of the greatest catches in NFL history back in 2014 at MetLife Stadium against a Texas-based team?

Garrett Wilson did the exact same thing nearly a decade later against the Houston Texans.

Early in the fourth quarter and down by three, New York Jets quarterback Arron Rodgers heaved a pass on third-and-19 to the back of the end zone. Wilson, who already caught a touchdown pass earlier in the second half, just wasn’t content with securing one score on the evening.

With rookie Kamari Lassiter in coverage, Wilson went airborne, using the young cornerback’s body as leverage to haul in a one-handed grab for the touchdown reception. At first, it looked like Wilson was out of bounds, but after further review, it was clear his shin was down just inside the end zone.

Here’s the play below:

Sitting at 2-6, New York needs a win if it plans on making a run toward the AFC postseason. Houston could secure its best start if they respond on the ensuing drive.

As for Wilson, he’ll make history for one of the greatest catches in NFL history. Beckham walked for Wilson to run and the third-year defender is sprinting.

Houston returns to NRG Stadium next Sunday evening against the Detroit Lions.

Upon review, Garrett Wilson makes astonishing, one-handed touchdown catch for Jets

Garrett Wilson with an astonishing catch for his second touchdown of the game

Garrett Wilson already had a great one-handed catch for a touchdown on Thursday against the Houston Texans for the New York Jets.

In the fourth quarter, Aaron Rodgers looked deep for his wideout and Wilson delivered a mind-boggling grab.

The catch Wilson made for the touchdown that gave the Jets a 14-10 lead after the PAT was one for the ages.

He caught the ball with one hand and somehow managed to get a shin down in the back of the end zone before his knee hit out of bounds.

The play was originally called incomplete but Jeff Ulrbich challenged it and after a review it was called a touchdown.

Amid a lot of upset messages from fans heading into the second half, the Jets offense tied their Week 9 matchup against the Texans at MetLife Stadium.

After hurrying up the offense, quarterback Aaron Rodgers found wide receiver Garrett Wilson in the red zone as he crossed the field near the 10-yard line.

A stretched Texans defender missed the ball on a jump, but one hand of Wilson’s found it. That’s all he needed.

He took the ball into the end zone from there and tied the game at 7-7 in the third quarter.

Check out the score below:

The New York Jets must have gotten a wakeup call at halftime of their game with the Houston Texans on Thursday at MetLife Stadium.

Trailing 7-0, they took the second-half kickoff and went 70 yards over 11 plays.

The touchdown came when Aaron Rodgers connected with Garrett Wilson, who made a nice one-handed catch en route to the 21-yard touchdown.

New kicker Riley Patterson hit the upright on the PAT but caught a break and it went through to tie the game at seven.

 

Jets at Patriots: 3 key matchups to watch in Week 8

Jets at Patriots: 3 key matchups to watch in Week 7

The New York Jets will face the New England Patriots in their upcoming Week 7 matchup.

Even with it being an AFC East clash, it will still be the games, within the game, that will make all the difference.

Here are three key matchups to watch during Jets (2-5) versus the Patriots (1-6):

WR Garrett Wilson vs. CB Christian Gonzalez

(Imagn)

Most eyes will be on Davante Adams when the Jets offense is on the field, as expected. He could very well win his matchup against Patriots cornerback Jonathan Jones, but Jones is likely the Pats’ best player in the secondary. That will leave Gonzalez on Wilson which is a matchup the Jets should take advantage of.

LB CJ Mosley vs. RB Rhamondre Stevenson

With rookie Drake Maye now starting at quarterback for the Patriots, stopping Stevenson out of the backfield will be even more important than the first time these two sides met. Make Maybe beat you and Mosley will be the one leading the Jets defense against New England’s backfield.

DE Haason Reddick vs. OL Demontrey Jacobs

Reddick just ended his holdout and his debut will be a huge chance to make a splash in his first game with the Jets. He’s going up against Jacobs, who is the worst-rated offensive tackle in the entire NFL via Pro Football Focus‘ metrics.

Sauce Gardner and the Jets’ defense is suffering Jet lag and here’s why

Sauce Gardner and the Jets’ defense is suffering Jet lag and here’s why

Injuries, fatigue, trauma, and locker room unrest all have worked to depreciate the New York Jets defense led by All-Pro Sauce Gardner. 

After building rapport under Jeff Ulbrich as the former defensive coordinator in 2022, Gardner and company were forced to compromise Ulbrich’s leadership due to his transition over to interim head coach just weeks ago. 

Countless Jets players suffered injuries on defense this season including defensive end Jermaine Johnson, defensive back D.J Reed, safety Chuck Clark, and linebacker C.J Mosley who missed three of the Jets’ seven games this season.

Gardner hasn’t missed any games this season however, and him and all-pro linebacker Quincy Williams have done everything in their power to maintain Ulbrich’s standard. Thanks to Gardner and others, the Jets still rank No. 2 in the NFL in opponent pass yards allowed per game and rank No. 16 in opponent rush yards per game.

It doesn’t end there. What about the excessive offensive turnovers yielded by quarterback Aaron Rodgers? Those Jets’ turnovers have a trickle-down effect, playing against both the attrition and morale of the team defense. Since Gardner’s youth doesn’t merit him the vocal platform to scorn a teammate of Rodgers’ magnitude, he and others have been forced to suffer in silence internally.

Whether Gardner, Ulbrich , or Jets fans admit it or not, Rodgers’ inflated ego has fully consumed the Jets’ locker room. With a offensive third-down conversion rate of 31% over the last three games, Gardner and the defense haven’t really gotten much from their hall of fame quarterback, one they believed would take them to the next level.

Offensive struggles have only perpetuated a undertone of pessimism and if the Jets’ defense doesn’t get a tangible (not vocal) contribution from Rodgers in week 8, their jet lag may continue.

Jets’ Garrett Wilson blunt after Steelers loss: ‘I’m playing like [expletive] right now’

Jets’ Garrett Wilson blunt after Steelers loss: ‘I’m playing like [expletive] right now’

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson was very blunt following his team’s loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Wilson played a big role in the 37-15 loss and not in a positive way.

The Steelers notched an interception thanks to a drop from Wilson. A pass deflected off of him and ended up turning into six points for Pittsburgh.

Because of that, Wilson said the loss was on him.

“I’ve got to catch the damn ball. I’m playing like s— right now,” Wilson said. “I feel like that’s the reason we lost the damn game.”

New York trailed 16-15 when Wilson missed that ball. One play later after a long return from Steelers cornerback Beanie Bishop Jr., Pittsburgh put away another touchdown.

In a supportive manner, despite the play, quarterback Aaron Rodgers said he backed Wilson right after the mishap.

“I said I’m going to come back to you. He’s a dynamic player, we need to target him,” Rodgers said via video conference. “Obviously no one feels sicker than him about that play but he’s a dynamic player.”

Wilson ended up finishing the contest with five catches for 61 yards. That was overshadowed by the interception in the second half.
