The New York Jets went into Thursday Night Football in desperate need of a win.
This team was in the middle of a losing streak, and they seemingly needed a primetime win to lift their spirits back up.
Aaron Rodgers hadn’t been playing his best football, and fans were starting to get disappointed with his output.
The Jets bounced back in a big way against the Houston Texans, but that fact has gotten lost in the shuffle.
Garrett Wilson made a catch in the back of the endzone during this game, a grab many are comparing to Odell Beckham Jr.’s famous grab.
Ari Meirov shared the video on X, highlighting how unbelievable Wilson’s reception truly was.

He not only caught the ball but kept his foot and shin inbounds, resulting in a touchdown for the Jets.
This was the burst of life the Jets needed to finish the fourth quarter strong.
Wilson ended the night with two touchdown receptions from Rodgers, but everyone will remember this catch above all else.
This was not only the highlight play of the night, but many are calling this the catch of the year, perhaps the best of all time.
Wilson has been recognized as a great player during his young career thus far, but nobody could have expected him to come up with this type of play.
Rodgers was also in disbelief that Wilson came down with the ball, another indication of how improbable the catch was.
It turns out that Wilson had nothing to worry about when Davante Adams came to the team, they can both thrive with Rodgers throwing them the ball.
