While Wilson’s wizardry and Beckham’s brilliance can be debated until the sun turns cold, there is a huge difference in that the former resulted in a win. Beckham’s Giants lost to the Cowboys 31-28 and finished 6-10 this season.

“Oh my God,” Ulbrich said. “I mean, I spoke to the referee when they discussed it. I meant, just for posterity’s sake, you have to say it’s okay so it goes down in history. I mean, it would rival Odell’s catch. It was amazing.”

Wilson’s scoring drive wasn’t the last of the game, as Rodgers found old pal Davante Adams for a 37-yard game-winning score, which was also the tandem’s first as Jets teammates.

It was Wilson’s first TD – a 21-yarder in the third quarter – that pulled the offense out of the daze of a first half in which it was held to 69 yards and no points.

It was Wilson’s mesmerizing second touchdown that led to a long-awaited and much-needed triumph.

The chances of the 3-6 Jets making the playoffs are still hardly good. But if New York is to mount a stunning rally, Wilson’s stunning attack will likely be seen as the catalyst for the season’s turnaround. If the Jets fail — a 3-6 New York team has never made the playoffs, according to NFL Research — it will still be a memorable highlight in the midst of a disappointing season, just as it was for Beckham.

“It feels good,” Wilson told reporters. “We definitely wanted to get back on the winning list. Five losses in a row feels like what you would expect.
