Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson made a catch of the year candidate on Thursday night as New York beat the Houston Texans 21-13 to end their five-game losing streak. Midway through the fourth quarter, Wilson reached back with one arm in the endzone and contorted his body to snatch the ball out of the air while Texans cornerback Kamari Lassiter could only watch on. Perhaps even more remarkably, the second-year receiver was able to get his left shin and right foot down in the endzone, all while retaining possession of the ball. Although initially ruled an incomplete pass, a challenge from Jets interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich led to a review and the officials overturned the decision to rule it a successful catch and touchdown. The play bore striking similarity to another all-time great catch at MetLife Stadium. The one-handed, diving nature of Wilson’s effort was compared to Odell Beckham Jr.’s grab for the New York Giants against the Dallas Cowboys in 2014. Afterwards, Wilson said the two moments of brilliance had their differences. “(Beckham) got two feet down, the ball was gonna land out of bounds, and it was Odell, man,” Wilson told reporters. “Odell against the Cowboys, that was the one. So for it to even come up in that convo, I’m blessed. I’m honored.”
