EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Facing third-and-19, down three points early in the fourth quarter, Aaron Rodgers made a decision.
If the weak-side safety dropped down, the New York Jets quarterback would give Garrett Wilson a chance.
So Rodgers dropped back and sailed a pass 47 air yards to his receiver who would ultimately be just 0.8 yards away from the defender, per Next Gen Stats.
Wilson extended his right arm while airborne so spectacularly that his teammates would soon hurry to compare him to Michael Jordan’s Jumpman, or Odell Beckham Jr.’s famous one-handed catch in the same stadium, or both.
