Aaron Rodgers throws a one handed touchdown to Garrett Wilson
Then, as if highlighting one of the best skill wide receivers of all time, it was New York Jets- Aaron Rodgers was making an incredible stretching catch for a touchdown. They were down 10-7, and we’re in the last seconds of the game. So the Jets had everything at stake and for that Wilson grassed in the air and Aaron threw him a prayer. And when it was the wide receiver, he leaped, kicking his legs up in the air to grab the ball. In Jeff’s case, the wide receiver wasn’t able to score as Wilson’s foot was out of and with the other foot Robinson’s head coach LaDainian moses Davis challenged for it and lost. But, Wilson’s left foot hit the ground inside the end zone confirming the shoot getting them 14-10 on the top of the fourth quarter on the scoreboard, as it little more than a minute after the timeout.
The game wasn’t that entertaining but one such play which received a lot of attention and later made a huge difference to the pace of the game was when the Jets had received the ball which also hmarked the start of almost the final quarter. So with this play every member in the crowd had the attention on them. Another remark was made when it was compared to a Michael Jordan’s logo where Jordan is said to have jumped in order to dunk the ball.
Those nine receptions and two touchdowns came with a team-high 90 yards while Wilson helped put the Jets snap their five-game losing streak with ease as ulbrich managed a 21-13 win as well, his first while acting as the interim coach. While there are uncertainties to be noted for such young teams, one could imagine just how promising this team could be in the future.
The Jets wide receiver extends for a one-handed grab that will be shown on some future highlight film on his touchdown catch.
EAST RUTHERFORD, New Jersey – It seemed Odell Beckham was the only player capable of making a one handed touchdown reception but Wilson quickly change that notion. Wilson made a audacious 26-yard catch which propelled the Jets to the lead for the first time in the game in the 4th quarter. They went on to win the game 21-13 in what was remarkable ending to the match. Wilson’s acrobatic catch was the feature for him after making nine receptions and 90 yards on the day as he helped the jets end their 5 match loosing streak during jeff ulbrich’s interim coaching era.
Wilson’s catch indeed was a absolute marvel to watch and it also called on memories of a certain catch shared by Odell Beckham against the Dallas cowboys while he was playing for the New York Giants in 2014. Beckham’s catch has received wide acceptance as one of the best of not the best catch of all time but while Ross’ catch was commendable it didn’t result in the team picking a win.
Heí s a very accustomed lad to the limelight and one like Wilson is bound to get the attention. Since high school Wilson has a large collection of highlight reels featuring one handed receptions and he even tries them during one-on-one drill sessions at virginia tech. He is not pleased can we say with the amount of questions he gets asked about them saying he is “kind of tired’ but it seems she people just can’t get enough.
Nevertheless, the grab is something which he will most probably cherish till the day he dies. Season’s most jaw dropping moments in what is going to be shown on highlight reels for decades to come. Why shouldn’t they?
Witness Aaron Rodgers in this astonishing touchdown reception from different lenses.
It was a slow start for them indeed, but through the second half, Robert Wilson scored two typical touchdowns and Davante Adams, another rookie, also scored. What is more, Wilson put a phenomenal 21 yard grab to register the first touchdown of his career, which was similar to one of Odell Beckham Jr’s grabs back in 2014 (the difference being Al Michaels commentated this catch rather than Cris Collinsworth).
Unbelievable more so was Wilson’s other one handed grab even when the match was coming to an end and it was in the fourth quarter. It was third down with a distance of 19 yards to cover, and out of nowhere, Wilson cut in on Texans Cornerback Kamari Lassiter after receiving the pass from Rodgers. Just as Lassiter cut him inside, Wilson grabbed the ball with his right hand hoping it would not hit his back shoulder. The catch was first ruled incomplete, however, during half time, interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich successfully overturned the decision claiming it was a touchdown.
Such blatant displays of grandstanding are seldom seen in the game of football, which is perhaps why what Wilson did twice on Thursday night could well be described as a freak occurrence to say the least. In this case, it is not too unfortunate that the opportunity may arise again for him and Rodgers to showcase their skills in week 10 against the Arizona Cardinals.
Rodgers beats the guardians for what is an opportunistic Garrett Wilson.
In the final quarter of the game, the Jets were down by 3 points and Aaron Rodgers initiated the wide play by dispatching the ball to Wilson who was well positioned in the end zone; however, this was on third down. Wilson was the wide receiver making the attempt to catch the ball, and he elevated where his right hand opened up like a ‘Jumpman’ Logo. The reception was initially flagged as an incomplete pass, but the interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich decided otherwise. The Wilson circus catch was on, much to the delight of the New York fans resided in MetLife Stadium.
Wilson went for his second grab of the ball in the evening, bringing the count to 5 this season with this catch. He had previously recorded a career best of four catches in a season in 2022 and so even with this catch he moved the bar of his career further up. This was only his first multi-touchdown game since weeks 12 of the previous season when he went up against Chicago. Of the three touchdowns scored by New York during its last two possessions of the match, Wilson was responsible for two throwing 90 yards and swinging into action nine times.
In a rather unimpressive manner, New York was getting dominated on defensive standpoints before Wilson’s impossible catch on one hand caused a transformation on New York’s offensive momentum in the fourth quarter. Unlike the crowd that was displeased by Wilson’s mesmerizing catch, the green and white team got the boost they needed when the game was slowly moving away from them. The Jets win improved their progress to 3-2 and moved them a step closer to their playoffs. Nevertheless, the defense still remains to be in deep waters and needs to recover quickly. New York lost guard John Simpson because of a groin injury as well as tackle Jake Hanson who also sustained a hamstring issue. rookie offensive tackle Olu Fashanu came in for Hanson and rookie tackle Max Mitchell took over at left guard.
