5 second half plays that led the Jets to victory over the Texans

5 second half plays that led the Jets to victory over the Texans

#3: Superlatives are simply not enough.
In the words of interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich, “Oh, my God.”

Those words humbly sum up Garrett Wilson’s epic one-handed catch that gave the Jets a lead they never relinquished. And if not for the call from Rector Olu Fashanu (who replaced the injured Jake Hanson) to negate Aaron Rodgers’ 13-yard scramble to the Houston 3-yard line, it might never have happened. That left the Jets facing third-and-19 in the 26th.

“When it was third and longer, I was looking at the weak side of the safety and I thought, ‘If he goes down at all, I’m just going to say, damn it, I’m going to throw him to the G,'” Rogers said. “I thought I put it down.” him in a decent spot. But yeah, I didn’t do much when it came down to it. I just kind of threw him in there. When I saw the replay, it looked like he had a knee (actually a shin). ) so I thought, throw it, challenge it. Brick (Jeff Ulbrich) was already in front of me, throwing it. But it was a huge play, too. But what was that third place and 20? it’s a game changer.”

Fun fact: For the second week in a row, Wilson’s catch in the end zone that was initially ruled incomplete was overturned on video review.
