Heroes, zeros and the full blitz from the Jets’ 21-13 win over the Texans on Thursday night at MetLife Stadium:
Hero
Garrett Wilson keyed the Jets’ first victory in six weeks with two touchdown catches after halftime.
He finished with nine catches for 90 yards, highlighted by his 26-yard scoring grab with 12:54 remaining that gave the Jets the lead for good.
On third-and-19, Aaron Rodgers put the ball up for Wilson, who made a leaping, one-handed grab that was initially ruled incomplete, but reversed after a replay review.
Zero
C.J. Stroud lost for the second time in as many seasons at MetLife Stadium.
The Jets beat him soundly a year ago and he was unimpressive on Thursday, completing just 11 of 30 passes for 191 yards. He also lost a fumble.
Stroud clearly missed injured receivers Nico Collins and Stefon Diggs.
Unsung hero
Quinnen Williams led a fierce pass rush that sacked Stroud eight times.
The standout defensive tackle had 1.5 sacks, a forced fumble, two tackles for loss and four quarterback hits.
Key stat
3 Touchdown passes by Rodgers.
The last Jets quarterback to throw that many TD passes was Mike White against the Bears on Nov. 27, 2022.
