The New York Jets are back in the win column after defeating the Houston Texans 21-13 on Thursday night.

This Halloween night had many tricks for Jets fans to begin with, but it ended up being a treat when the final whistle blew and it was thanks to his sticky hands. Garrett Wilsonwho made not one, but two one-handed touchdown throws to lead the Jets offense.

The best of the night came on what looked like an impossible third-and-19 for the Jets at Houston’s 26-yard line, when Aaron Rodgers launched one high into the sky down the left sideline.

Wilson, with Kamari Lassiter draped over him in the end zone, leapt and caught the ball with one hand to the amazement of the MetLife Stadium crowd. However, he was initially ruled out of bounds with both feet not in the black-painted end zone.

However, after video replay, it was determined that Wilson’s shin was in bounds with the possession of the football, giving the Jets a 14-10 lead after the extra point was made by freshman kicker Riley Patterson.

Wilson’s first touchdown of the night also came in the second half as the Jets were desperate for an offense after going scoreless in the first half.

On second-and-12 from Houston’s 21-yard line, Rodgers, under pressure in the pocket, threw a pass to Wilson, who had separation from his Texans quarterback. He reached out with his right hand and caught it with no one in front of him for the 21-yard score.

Wilson finished the night with 90 yards and two touchdowns on nine receptions to lead the Jets.

That was the spark the Jets needed, who entered this game 2-6 after being upset by the unfortunate New England Patriots the previous week. However, the first half saw tons of boos and even a chant of “Sell the team!” which was directed at owner Woody Johnson, who was in his apartment.

One of the main reasons was a lack of production on offense, but also a horrendous mistake by rookie wide receiver Malachi Corley, who had his first career touchdown called back for deciding to release the football at the one-yard line.

It’s been done too many times in football history, and Corley added to it as the Jets’ only productive drive resulted in a touchback and the Texans the ball instead.

However, the Jets defense made up for that CJ Stroud and the Texans’ offense struggled to get going all night.

Aside from Joe Mixon, who set the tone in the running game with 106 yards on carries, Stroud, who is missing Stefon Diggs and Nico Collins, his top two targets who are injured have clearly been hurt.

Stroud found Tank Dell for six catches for 126 yards and Mixon ran into the end zone in the second quarter for the only points of the first half, but that was all the Texans had in the tank.

The dagger came late in the fourth quarter when Rodgers finally found Davante Adams in the end zone on a beautifully thrown fade for a 37-yard score. Adams was back on the field after passing concussion tests.

Stroud tried to lead the Texans to an impossible comeback, but a punt was recovered by Adams to seal the victory.

Rodgers finished the game 22-of-32 for 211 yards with the three touchdown passes and no interceptions, while Stroud was just 11-of-30 for 191 yards.
