The Houston Texans kicked off Week 9 with a spooky 21-13 Halloween victory over the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium on Thursday night.

The game got off to a sloppy start with four fumbles and just seven points scored. Aaron Rodgers and the Jets offense were able to get going in the second half, as they scored 21 unanswered points to put the game out of reach late in the fourth quarter.

PLAYER OF THE GAME

After a sluggish first half from the Jets offense, Garrett Wilson helped ignite the team's second-half success, finishing the game with nine receptions (two of which were contested) from 10 targets for 90 yards (37 of which came after the catch), four first downs and two touchdowns, including his incredible one-handed touchdown grab in the fourth quarter. He also compiled 2.73 yards per route run. Without Wilson, there's no way the Jets win this game.
