Garrett Wilson made one of the NFL’s all-time great one-handed touchdown catches on Thursday night.
On a play reminiscent to Odell Beckham Jr.’s famous catch for the New York Giants 10 years ago, Wilson plucked the ball out of the air with one hand at the back of the end zone and somehow got his shin down in bounds for a 26-yard touchdown catch that made jaws drop around the nation.

Making matters even more impressive was that it was Wilson’s second one-handed touchdown catch of the night as he turned another one-handed snag into a 21-yard touchdown on a catch-and-run in the third quarter.

Those two touchdown catches gave the Jets a 14-10 lead over C.J. Stroud’s Houston Texans early in the fourth quarter. They brought Wilson’s touchdown total for the season to five, which is already a career-high for the former Ohio State receiver with eight games still to go in the regular season.
