Garrett Wilson’s absurd 1-handed TD is the NFL catch of the year
You won’t see a better NFL catch this year.
The New York Jets and Houston Texans matchup to start Week 9 in Thursday Night Football has been a slog, but it’s still featured some ridiculous moments. Take, for example, Jets rookie Malachi Corley pulling a DeSean Jackson and dropping a would-be touchdown on the 1-yard line for a fumble.
On the flip side, the Jets actually did get in the end zone thanks to a spectacular catch from star wide receiver Garrett Wilson.
With the Texans leading at the start of the fourth quarter, Aaron Rodgers took a a shot at the end zone and found his No. 1 wide out. Wilson made the best catch of the NFL season, leaping in the air for a one-handed grab and somehow getting both feet down. The refs reviewed it and confirmed Wilson’s unbelievable grab.

Wilson also scored the Jets’ first touchdown of the day on a 21-yard strike from Rodgers in the second quarter. This 26-yard TD is just an all-timer, though. You won’t see a better NFL catch this year.
