New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte made a spectacular one-handed touchdown catch against the Houston Texans during their divisional round playoff game on January 18, 2026. The play, which is being considered a contender for Catch of the Year, occurred early in the fourth quarter, extending the Patriots' lead to 12 points. Boutte's 32-yard touchdown was his seventh of the season and his first in the playoffs, marking a significant moment in his three-year career.
This was also his second touchdown against Texans cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. on deep throws in recent years, with a notable statistical advantage over other receivers facing Stingley. The catch ultimately proved to be the final score, securing a 28-16 victory for the Patriots, who are set to advance to the AFC championship game against the Denver Broncos.
