Garrett Wilson says the Jets are ‘better than we’ve played’

With the Jets looking to snap a five-game losing skid, WR Garrett Wilson delivered two spectacular one-handed touchdown grabs that led to the Green & White’s 21-1310 victory over the Houston Texans at MetLife Stadium Thursday evening.

“We needed to, and we really wanted to, get in the win column,” Wilson said. “Because we lost so many games in a row, it felt exactly how you would expect it to feel. We are better than we have played and tonight was the time to prove that. It is a good win because it puts us on the road helps with what we need to do.” what we have been preaching and talking about within the facility.”

After holding the Jets scoreless in the first half, Wilson was limited to 2 receptions for 9 yards. On his first drive of the second half, he broke the seal and hauled in a 212-yard touchdown. The PAT tied the game at 7-7.

On second-and-12 from Houston’s 21-yard line, QB Aaron Rodgers, sagging from pressure, placed the ball in front of Wilson and he grabbed it with one hand at the 15-yard line before running into him. the end zone.

“It was a drag route against people’s reporting,” Wilson said. “And even though I thought I was dragging down the field, at the last minute Aaron threw it out vertically to me. He threw a great ball to get it around the safety and I went up and made a play and then turned around and we didn’t have anyone there. For me, it worked in my favor.”

Rodgers completed 4 of 5 pass attempts on the 11-play, 70-yard scoring drive, including 2 to Wilson, for 31 yards.

“We went in at halftime and realized there was going to be some adversity,” Wilson said. “And the setback was that we had such a goalless first half. We felt like we were playing good football, but nothing was going our way. In the second half we found a way.”

On the Jets’ next offensive possession, following a Houston field goal to regain the lead 10–7, Wilson surpassed his previous hold. On third-and-19 from the Texans 26-yard line, Rodgers dropped back and delivered a pass to Wilson who flew toward the end zone. Wilson jumped up, picked up the pass with his right hand and landed near the back line of the end zone.
