The New York Jets scored a go-ahead touchdown on ‘Thursday Night Football’ against the Houston Texans with a 26-yard touchdown pass from Aaron Rodgers to Garrett Wilson.
The play was initially ruled out, as it appeared as if Wilson didn’t get two feet down in the end zone. However, after a replay review, Wilson’s knee came down on the white of the boundary, but not before his shin hit. Of course, in football parlance, one shin is equal to one knee, which equals two feet, which equals a touchdown.
After high-pointing the ball with one hand, Wilson got his left foot down and crucially his left shin before falling out of bounds.
The catch was even more impressive from the field level at game speed.
With an effort like that for the go-ahead touchdown in a must-win game at home, it’s an early candidate for catch of the year.
