Jets vs. Texans final score, results: Garrett Wilson, Davante Adams spook Houston secondary, C.J. Stroud stuffed in first win since Week 2 | Sporting News Canada
The Jets were due for a breakthrough, and boy, did they haunt Houston in New York on Thursday night.
Week 9’s Halloween feature had it all, including a pair of cinematic touchdown catches by Garrett Wilson—one of which was eerily similar to Odell Beckham Jr.’s iconic one-handed grab—and Davante Adams made his first scoring connection as a Jet with long-time friend Aaron Rodgers.
The game wasn’t without its struggles for the host, as the Texans shut out Jeff Ulbrich’s newly minted offense in the first half. Rodgers did what he came to New York to do in the second frame, though, and punched in three touchdown passes despite the Jets facing nine penalties for 83 yards throughout the night.
Adams’ performance is a testament to the philosophy that everything happens for a reason, after he left the contest with a potential head injury sustained in the third quarter. He cleared concussion protocol and re-entered just in time for New York to capitalize on a missed Houston field goal, sealing the deal with a deep scoring shot into the veteran’s waiting hands with time winding down.

It was the Jets defense that kept Rodgers & Co. in the game, sacking C.J. Stroud a whopping eight times. Michael Clemons, D.J. Reed, Quinnen Williams, Solomon Thomas and Haason Reddick combined to take down the second-year slinger throughout the night, though both Reed and Thomas would sustain injuries rendering them questionable at different points in the contest.
The win brings the Jets back into the fold with a 3-6 record heading into games at Arizona and versus Indianapolis before a Week 12 bye. Houston falls to the opposite 6-3, with their lead on the Colts in the AFC South growing thin.

Comedy of errors from both of these teams. From C.J. Stroud missing the throw to the kicker missing a short one. Only having that drive because the Jets did something dumb. #Texans now have to get the ball back for this anemic offense.

10:57 p.m. — Fairbarn comes on to take a 43 yard kick which he hits, but the score is canceled out by an unnecessary roughness call on Watts for hitting the long snapper. The Texans get a fresh set of downs on the 12 as a result, and Mixon takes two straight carries to the nine before Stroud throws an incompletion to bring up fourth-and-seven.
10:55 p.m. — Mixon takes two carries for five yards before he takes a snap and tries to hit Stroud in the end zone. He appeals for a pass interference but no flag was thrown, then Stroud is taken all the way back to the 27 and sacked to bring up fourth-and-long.

10:45 p.m. — GARRETT WILSON OH MY GOODNESS! The receiver makes another all-time grab, this time in the back of the end zone.

10:43 p.m. — Rodgers scrambles up the middle for a 13 yard gain, but Fashanu is flagged for offensive holding and the play comes back. What was once a obvious scoring opportunity has turned into third-and-long with 13 minutes to go.
10:42 p.m. — Now second-and-six after a four yard grab by Ruckert, Conklin makes a -3 yard reception before being taken down by Pitre. Pitre stays down at the end of the play as Conklin appeals for a flag, setting up third-and-nine at the 16.
10:40 p.m. — The third quarter begins with a foul on Stingley for illegal contact, reversing an incomplete pass in the back of the end zone on fourth-and-one and gifting the Jets a fresh set of downs in the red zone.

He catches it for the first down before being blasted out of bounds, landing awkwardly on his shoulder and head unable to get up.
10:25 p.m. — Fairbarn boots it for a touchback and Rodgers’ first pass is incomplete to Wilson. Hall makes a short catch and turns for a 13 yard gain. He is brought down but pops back up and continues running for a second or two, appearing to believe he was not fully down. The ball is spotted at the Jets 43.

Aside from the obvious void left by Diggs’ absence, the Texans will be without Collins as well in the passing game. However, they are getting To’oTo’o back in the secondary which is a positive development with the loss of ILB Azeez Al-Shaair to a knee injury.

6:30 p.m. — As 2.5-point favorites, the Jets are looking to improve upon a below-average start and capitalize on a playoff-worthy roster. While the game isn’t particularly intriguing in the grand scheme of things, the quarterback matchup is one to watch given Rodgers and Strouds’ respective differences.
