While Wilson’s wizardry and Beckham’s brilliance can be debated until the sun turns cold, there is one huge difference that has led the former to victory. Beckham’s Giants lost to the Cowboys 31-28 and finished 6-10 that season.

“Oh my God,” Ulbrich said. “I mean, I was talking to the referee when they were reviewing it, I thought for posterity’s sake you should say that’s how it goes down in history. I mean, it would rival Odell’s catch. It was amazing .”

Wilson’s scoring grab wasn’t the last of the game, as Rodgers found old friend Davante Adams for a game-sealer of 37 yards, which was also the tandem’s first as Jets teammates.

It was Wilson’s first TD — a 21-yarder in the third quarter — that rescued the offense from the stupor of a first half in which it was held to 69 yards and no points.

It was Wilson’s spellbinding second TD that led to a long-awaited and much-needed victory.

The odds are still barely in the 3-6 Jets’ favor when it comes to the playoffs. But if New York is to pull off a stunning rally, it will be Wilson’s breathtaking grab that will likely be seen as the spark that will turn the season around. If the Jets fall short — a 3-6 New York squad has never made the playoffs, according to NFL Research — it will still serve as a highly memorable highlight amid a disappointing season, much like Beckham’s.

“It feels good,” Wilson told reporters. “We definitely wanted to get back in the win column. Losing five in a row feels like what you would expect. It doesn’t feel good. We are better than that, the most important thing, and it was time to go prove it.”
