Houston Texans 13-21 New York Jets: Garrett Wilson's acrobatics inspire Jets to comeback win

Garrett Wilson made two spectacular touchdown catches as the New York Jets ended their five-game losing streak with a 21-13 comeback victory over the Houston Texans.

Star quarterback Aaron Rodgers was also influential, completing 22 of 32 passes for 211 yards and three touchdown passes, helping the Jets win for the first time since September.

It was also the Jets' first win under interim coach Jeff Ulbrich and moved into second place in the AFC East.

The highlight was two acrobatic one-handed catches by Wilson in the third and fourth quarters.

His first shot at the start of the third quarter evened the score. The second was even more impressive, as Wilson jumped up, legs spread, to meet Rodgers' 26-yard pass in the back of the end zone.

The pass was originally ruled incomplete because Wilson couldn't get both feet on the ground in the end zone, but the decision was reversed after a video review.

New York trailed 7-0 at halftime after a slow start. Rodgers completed just seven of 14 pass attempts for 32 yards, a first-half low of his career.

A touchdown for rookie receiver Malachi Corley was also ruled out after a video review showed his premature celebration led to him dropping the ball in front of the goal line.

Joe Mixon scored the only touchdown in response for the Texans, who remain atop the AFC South despite a third loss of the season.
