Wilson acrobatics inspire Jets to comeback win

Garrett Wilson made two spectacular touchdown catches as the New York Jets ended their five-game losing streak with a 21-13 comeback victory over the Houston Texans.

Star quarterback Aaron Rodgers was also influential, completing 22 of 32 passes for 211 yards and three touchdowns as the Jets won for the first time since September.

It was also the Jets’ first win under interim coach Jeff Ulbrich, and moves them into second place 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 tied the scores. The second was even more impressive, Wilson leaping the split leg to meet Rodgers’ 26-yard pass in the back of the end zone.

It was initially ruled an incomplete pass because Wilson didn’t get both feet down in the end zone, but the decision was reversed after a video review.

New York trailed 7-0 at halftime after a sluggish opening. Rodgers completed just seven of 14 attempts for 32 yards – a first-half career low.

Rookie receiver Malachi Corley also had a touchdown disallowed after a video review showed his premature celebration caused him to drop the ball short of the goal line.

Joe Mixon scored the only touchdown in response for the Texans, who remain atop the AFC South despite a third loss of the season.
