Week six of the 2025 NFL season

Real-time updates features text commentary of the weekend matchups on multiple platforms, beginning with Denver Broncos v New York Jets in London (kicking off at 2 PM BST). Additionally, audio coverage is available on designated networks for another key matchup (beginning at 9 PM BST).

It's week six in the NFL season , after last week's discussion about the Buffalo Bills and Philadelphia Eagles as possible championship contenders, they both surrendered their perfect starts.

Notable during those contests was the amount of infractions both conceded. Philadelphia committed them at crucial times so they kind of defeated themselves after leading by two touchdowns going into the fourth period against the Denver Broncos, set to play overseas this weekend.

However it was positive to observe that Denver quarterback the rookie managed to have the shortfall before lead three scoring drives on three possessions during the final period, securing the victory by four points.

The Broncos have the top defender in CB Pat Surtain II. They are number one in goal-line defense, whereas the Eagles lead the league in scoring near the end zone, yet the Broncos prevailed in that contest.

They had the Eagles' number in terms of disguised blitzes. They did not necessarily sending more than four defenders but they might plug two LBs in the 'A' gap before drop them out and send a nickel from the outside.

Early on in the campaign, it was noted on a program that Denver could be the current year's dark horses. They ended the previous year well then excelled of building upon that.

New TE Evan Engram has stepped up big while new RB their rusher is a player the team trusts. He's currently 5th in the NFL for rushing yards (over 400) as well as tied-fourth in rushing scores (4).

I love how head coach Sean Payton displays "RUN IT!" at the top on his call sheet.

That shows that Denver are a squad that wants to prioritize the run, because one can do a lot off the back of that. It slows down the pass rush while maintains in favourable situations.

This has helped quarterback the young passer, who entered the NFL as a first-round selection last year, passing for 29 touchdown passes – just behind Justin Herbert in rookie records (31 in 2020).

Josh Allen and Herbert have the arm strength to throw all over, but they don't move the mobility as Nix. He boasts incredible passing ability, a unique trait, and he is so athletic.

His strengths include his mobility, the capacity to throw on the run, as well as finding varied release points to make throws as he moves out of the pocket, on rollouts. He is able to throw precision throws over the middle and past defenders.

As a rookie QB, at 25, he's got great poise in the pocket and isn't bothered by the blitz. He tries to evade being tackled as much as possible and is able pass under pressure. He possesses sharp intelligence and is very decisive.

If you consistently run the ball it eats up the clock and forces the opponent to stay on the field extended periods, and if you've got a mobile QB the defence must cover the area downfield side to side. It can be draining.

The quarterback has bitten back with the coach on the sideline sometimes and I think the coach appreciates that fire, that he's such a competitor. In my view it's fun for the coach to coach a rookie QB that is similar to play-dough. He can really build something up the way he desires to shape him. I think it's a unique opportunity for the coach.

Payton owns a championship and now surpassed Bill Parcells in all-time victories (173 - tied 14th overall). He has witnessed it all. I think the success the Broncos are experiencing on offence is mostly due to his guidance, his schemes, his situational awareness – and the pairing with Nix aids make him what he is.

You wouldn't want a more qualified person guiding you, to assist you through some of the tougher situations and boost self-belief.

I have faith in Denver's defence, in Bo Nix's tenacity and composure. But is the team good enough to face an elite team at its best? Because that wasn't a Super Bowl performance from Philadelphia last Sunday.

Right now, I don't think the Broncos are elite. They're performing above average, which is a good place to be in the AFC West. All they need is is maintain this path.

They excel at leaning into their forte, which is running the ball, and this is exactly what they should do against the Jets at Tottenham. It will likely be the JK Dobbins show, in essence.

The Jets have surrendered 140 yards on the ground each contest (sixth worst), five rushing touchdowns this season (10th worst), and they are the sole squad yet to win any game.

Since the NFL began tracking takeaways decades ago, this team are also the inaugural squad to go without any turnovers in five outings, this is kind of shocking when you think that the head coach Aaron Glenn defensive co-ordinator at the Detroit Lions.

Following the upcoming matchup, Denver have a manageable slate up to their break (in week twelve) - the New York Giants, Dallas Cowboys, the Texans plus Las Vegas Raiders prior to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Looking at the AFC West, Kansas City hold a losing record while Denver are tied with the Los Angeles Chargers on 3-2 so they could make a run for the top of the West.

This hinges on which form Kansas City shows up they face since Denver {beat|def
