Jets rookie Malachi Corley has new celebration in mind after touchdown blunder in win over Texans

The New York Jets beat the Houston Texans 21-13 on ‘Thursday Night Football,’ led by Garrett Wilson’s 2 TDs, one of which is a contender for Catch of the Year. Nick Wright, Chris Broussard and Kevin Wildes discuss whether the Jets can rally.

New York Jets rookie wide receiver Malachi Corley is still searching for his first NFL touchdown after a premature celebration in last week’s win over the Houston Texans resulted in his score being called back. 

When that does happen, Corley already has a touchdown celebration prepared.

The 23-year-old receiver out of Western Kentucky scored his first pro touchdown during the first half of last week’s scoreless contest. But the celebration was cut short when a replay showed that Corley dropped the ball before crossing the goal line.

"Definitely frustrating, to be honest, and angry at the same time," interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said after the game. 

Speaking to the media Wednesday, Corley didn’t appear too shaken by the incident and added that his team rallied around him after the Jets pulled off the win. 

He also said he has a new touchdown celebration in mind, one that will guarantee he doesn’t have another touchdown overturned.
