During the Thursday Night Football game at MetLife Stadium, New York Jets rookie wide receiver Malachi Corley, a third-round pick, committed a costly blunder by dropping the ball before crossing the goal line, nullifying what would have been his first NFL touchdown. The ball rolled out of the end zone, resulting in a touchback and giving possession back to the Houston Texans. This error added to the Jets' struggles, as they went into halftime trailing 7-0. The Texans capitalized on the miscue with a 98-yard touchdown drive capped by a three-yard run from Joe Mixon, who finished the half with 91 rushing yards and a touchdown. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers had a difficult first half, completing only 7 of 14 passes for 32 yards. Jets fans expressed their frustration with chants of 'sell the team' echoing through MetLife Stadium.
