Early in the fourth quarter, Garrett Wilson made a one-handed touchdown catch that you'll have to see to believe.

In all, Wilson caught nine passes for 90 yards and two touchdowns in the 21-13 victory. It was his third career game with two receiving touchdowns, and both scores came via one-handed catches! The former No. 10 overall pick out of Ohio State has caught 40 passes for 472 yards and four touchdowns over the last five games. Those 40 catches are tied for the most receptions made by a Jet in a five-game span since 1970.
