Watch: Jets' Garrett Wilson makes incredible catch of the year candidate

By Adam Gretz | Last updated Oct 31, 2024 11:51 PM ET

The New York Jets offense has not always been fun to watch this season, but wide receiver Garrett Wilson still has the potential to be a bright spot and a difference-maker.

He was both of those things on Thursday night against the Houston Texans.

After making a one-handed touchdown catch and run in the third quarter, he followed that up in the fourth quarter with one of the most incredible plays of the year when he made an even more unbelievable one-handed grab for a touchdown.

It is even more impressive from the isolated, slow motion replay.

Even though Wilson only managed to get one foot down in bounds (his left foot), his shin hitting the ground before any other body part hit out of bounds makes that a legal catch.

It is also a sensational catch,

It came on a 3rd-and-19 with the Jets down by three after a big Aaron Rodgers run was called back on a holding penalty.
