Week six of the 2025 NFL season

Real-time updates includes live text for Sunday's games via multiple platforms, beginning with the Broncos-Jets clash in London (kicking off at 2 PM BST). Additionally, audio coverage can be heard on designated networks for a separate game (from 21:00 BST).

It's week six of the NFL season and following recent discussion regarding the Buffalo Bills and Philadelphia Eagles being a potential Super Bowl match-up, each surrendered their unbeaten records.

Striking during those contests was the number of infractions each conceded. The Eagles committed them at crucial times meaning they kind of defeated themselves having led by two touchdowns entering the final quarter versus the Denver Broncos, set to play overseas this weekend.

But it was positive to see that Denver's QB the rookie was able to overcome that deficit before lead three successful possessions on three possessions during the final period, to win the game 21-17.

The Broncos boast the top defender in CB their star corner. They rank number one in red zone defence, while Philadelphia are number one in scoring near the end zone, and the Broncos won that contest.

They executed effective strategies in terms of disguised blitzes. They did not always rushing more than four pass rushers but they might position two LBs in the interior before withdrawing them and send a slot defender off the edge.

Early on of the season, we said during a show how Denver might emerge as this season's dark horses. They finished last season well then did a good job of building upon that.

New tight end their tight end has excelled big while recent running back JK Dobbins is a player they believe in. He now ranks fifth league-wide for rushing yards (402) and tied for fourth in rushing scores (4).

I love how the coach Sean Payton has "RUN IT!" prominently of his playcall sheet.

This demonstrates that Denver are a squad aiming to prioritize the run, because you can do a lot based on that approach. It reduces down the pass rush while maintains in positive situations.

This has helped quarterback the young passer, who entered the NFL as a first-round selection in the prior draft, passing for 29 TDs – second only to Justin Herbert in rookie records (31 back in 2020).

Josh Allen and Herbert have the arm strength to throw all over, but they don't move in the same way as Nix. He boasts incredible arm talent, which is different, plus he's so athletic.

His assets include his mobility, being able to pass on the run, as well as using different arm angles to deliver throws when he rolls outside protection, the bootlegs. He can deliver precision throws across the middle or past defenders.

As a rookie QB, aged 25, he displays great composure under pressure and is not really fazed by extra rushers. He aims to evade being tackled whenever possible and can throw in tight spots. He has sharp intelligence and remains quick to decide.

If you constantly run the ball it eats up time and makes the defence to be in play for longer, and when you have an athletic quarterback the defense has to defend the field vertically and horizontally. This proves exhausting.

Nix has bitten back at Payton during games sometimes and it seems the coach appreciates that attitude, that he's such a competitor. I think it's fun for him to coach a young quarterback who's kind of like moldable clay. The coach can truly build something up how he desires to build it. I believe it's a special experience for him.

The head coach has won a Super Bowl and now surpassed a legend for career NFL wins (173, tying for 14th). He has witnessed it all. I think the achievements the Broncos are experiencing on offence is mostly down to his guidance, his schemes, his situational awareness – and the pairing with Nix aids shape him into who he is.

There's no better a better guy in your ear, to help you through difficult moments and boost confidence.

I believe in Denver's defence, in the QB's grit and calm. Yet are they good enough to go against a top squad at full strength? Because that was not championship-level play by the Eagles in their last game.

Right now, it's unlikely the Broncos are incredible. They're working above average, which is a solid position to be in the AFC West. All they need to do is maintain this path.

They're really good at embracing their forte, that is running the ball, and this is precisely what they must do versus the Jets at Tottenham. It will likely be the JK Dobbins show, essentially.

New York have surrendered 140 yards on the ground each contest (sixth worst), five rushing touchdowns this season (10th worst), and they are the only team yet to win any game.

Ever since the NFL started recording turnovers decades ago, the Jets are the inaugural squad to go without any turnovers through five games, which is kind of shocking considering that their new coach was previously a defensive coach with another team.

After this Sunday's game, Denver face a smooth-ish schedule up to their bye (in week twelve) - the Giants, the Cowboys, the Texans plus the Raiders prior to the Chiefs.

In the AFC West, the Chiefs are 2-3 while Denver are even with the Los Angeles Chargers on 3-2 so they could make a run for the top of the division.

This hinges on what version of the Chiefs they meet because the Broncos {beat|def
