Absurd one-handed touchdown grab by New York Jets Superstar

Absurd one-handed touchdown grab by New York Jets Superstar

Jets from New York wide receiver garrett wilson gave fans a catch to remember in the third quarter with a one-handed grab that led to a touchdown.

In the fourth quarter he improved on it with one of the most incredible scores you will ever see.

Wilson ran a go route on third down in single coverage against a Houston Texans cornerback and quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw the ball to the back of the end zone.

Wilson turned and grabbed the football with his right hand, just as Odell Beckham Jr. did with the New York Giants several years ago MetLife Stadium.

After bringing the ball in, Wilson put his left foot down and then his left shin down before his left knee ended up out of bounds. This allowed him to put his right foot down to complete the catch.

But the catch was ruled incomplete on the field and the Jets had to challenge the play. After several minutes, the game was reversed and Wilson got his second touchdown of the game after the most acrobatic catch Jets fans have seen in years.

The score gave New York a 14-10 lead.

Earlier in the game, Wilson made a one-handed catch that led to a touchdown, but not nearly as acrobatic as his second score.

On that play, which ended a 70-yard scoring drive, Rodgers found Wilson on the left side of the field. The ball was just slightly out of Wilson’s reach, but he was able to reel it in with his right hand and bring it back to his body to complete the catch and then he easily ran into the end zone for the tying score. .

Wilson, the 2022 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year and on track for his third consecutive 1,000-yard season, put together an incredible night as New York moved the football with an undermanned offensive line due to a pair of injuries during the game. .

Guard John Simpson suffered a groin injury and Jake Hanson suffered a hamstring injury. That led to rookie Olu Fashanu taking Hanson’s spot at right guard, while Max Mitchell slid into left guard for Simpson.

The Jets were already without Alijah Vera-Tucker (ankle), their starting right guard, and their versatile backup, Xavier Newman, who is on injured reserve with a neck injury.

During the game, New York lost edge rusher Will McDonald IV late in the first half to a non-contact injury that the Jets said was an ankle injury.

New York also moved veteran wide receiver Allen Lazard to injured reserve earlier Thursday with a chest injury.
