Garrett Wilson reached to the heavens and caught the Jets season with one hand and saved it from falling into eternal darkness.
It was third-and-19 at the Texans’ 26 when Rodgers lofted a rainbow that Wilson snared with his right hand, falling backward against Darryl Stingley in the back of the end zone. It was ruled incomplete. And then overturned — his right shin landing in-bounds. Adams had been out of the game to be evaluated for a concussion and Rodgers turned to Wilson.
He used a balanced attack and the first one-handed catch from Wilson for the 21-yard TD that made it Jets 7, Texans 7. So here was Aaron Rodgers, trapped in a body soon to be 41, trapped inside a franchise that cannot shake Kotite’s Law, formerly known as Murphy’s Law, desperately seeking to exorcise demons he had only heard about from afar. Wilson allowed him to turn the jeers to cheers.
Because these are the Jets, Corley nonchalantly dropped the ball inches before he crossed the goal line. The boo birds must have sounded deafening to Rodgers after Denico Autry sacked him on third-and-10.
