WATCH: Jets WR costs team touchdown with showboating

The New York Jets looked to break through a 0-0 stalemate against the Houston Texans on the first play in the second quarter of their ‘Thursday Night Football’ matchup.

Rookie wide receiver Malachi Corley took an end-around to the right side and appeared to score a touchdown. But the third-round pick dropped the football before crossing the plane of the end zone.

It rolled out of the back of the end zone.

By rule, this means it is considered a touchback and the Texans gain possession.

This would’ve been the first touchdown of Corley’s NFL career.

His mistake ended the Jets’ best drive of the night. New York went 69 yards in six plays — boosted by a facemask penalty on Texans’ defensive lineman Folorunso Fatukasi — and looked poised to put points on the board. Instead, the teams remained tied early in the second quarter.

The Jets’ account on X, formerly Twitter, had to correct their post about Corley’s carry ending with a touchdown.

This happened to longtime NFL wide receiver DeSean Jackson back in 2008. His would-be touchdown became a fumble because he dropped it before crossing the plane of the end zone.
