Week six of the 2025 NFL season

Live coverage features text commentary of the weekend matchups via various channels, beginning with the Broncos-Jets clash in London (from 14:00 BST). Additionally, audio coverage is available through select stations for another key matchup (beginning at 9 PM BST).

We're in the sixth week of the football calendar , after recent discussion regarding the Buffalo Bills and Philadelphia Eagles as possible championship contenders, they both surrendered their perfect starts.

Notable during those contests were the amount of infractions each committed. The Eagles committed them at crucial times meaning they kind of beat themselves having led 17-3 going into the final quarter versus Denver, set to play in London this weekend.

However it proved positive to observe how Denver quarterback Bo Nix managed to overcome the shortfall before direct three scoring drives on three possessions in the fourth quarter, to win the game by four points.

The Broncos have the top defender with CB their star corner. They are first in goal-line defense, while the Eagles lead the league in red zone offence, and Denver won that contest.

They had effective strategies in terms of disguised blitzes. They did not always sending more than four pass rushers instead they might plug two LBs in the interior before withdrawing them and send a slot defender from the outside.

At the start in the campaign, we said during a show that Denver could be the current year's dark horses. They finished last season well and excelled in continuing that momentum.

Recently acquired tight end their tight end has stepped up big while recent RB their rusher is a player the team trusts. He now ranks 5th in the NFL in ground gains (over 400) and tied for fourth for rushing touchdowns (four).

It's impressive that the coach Sean Payton has "RUSH!" prominently on his call sheet.

That shows how Denver represent a squad aiming to run first, since one can achieve much off the back of that. It slows opposing rushes and keeps you in positive down and distances.

It's also benefited quarterback the young passer, who came the NFL as a first-round selection last year, throwing 29 TDs – second only to Justin Herbert for the rookie record (31 back in 2020).

Josh Allen and Herbert possess powerful arms to pass anywhere, but they don't move the mobility that Nix has. He has exceptional passing ability, which is different, plus he's so athletic.

His assets include his mobility, the capacity to throw on the run, as well as using varied release points to deliver the pass as he moves outside protection, the bootlegs. He is able to deliver precision throws over the middle or over the corner.

As a rookie QB, at 25, he displays great composure under pressure and isn't really fazed by extra rushers. He tries to evade a sack as much as possible and can pass in tight spots. He has sharp intelligence and is very decisive.

If you constantly rush it consumes time and makes the opponent to stay in play extended periods, and if you've got a mobile QB the defense has to cover the field vertically and horizontally. This proves draining.

The quarterback has bitten back with the coach on the sideline at times and it seems the coach likes that fire, seeing him as such a competitor. I think it's fun for him to have a young quarterback who's similar to moldable clay. He can really build something up how he desires to build it. I think it's a special experience for the coach.

The head coach owns a championship and has passed a legend in all-time victories (173, tying for 14th). He's seen it all. In my opinion the success Denver are having on offence is mostly due to his leadership, his play-calling, his situational awareness – and the pairing with Nix aids shape him into who he is.

There's no better a more qualified person guiding you, to assist you through difficult moments and build self-belief.

I believe in Denver's defence, in Bo Nix's tenacity and composure. Yet is the team good enough to face an elite team at full strength? Since that was not championship-level play by the Eagles last Sunday.

Currently, it's unlikely the Broncos are elite. They're working better than most, which is a solid position to be in their division. All they need is is maintain this path.

They're really good at leaning into their strength, which is running the ball, and this is exactly what they should do versus the Jets in London. It will likely be a Dobbins-focused game, in essence.

New York have allowed 140 rushing yards each contest (among the worst), five ground scores this season (in the bottom ten), and they're the sole squad without a win a game.

Since the NFL started recording turnovers in 1933, this team are the inaugural squad to be without a single takeaway in five outings, which is kind of shocking considering that their new coach was previously defensive co-ordinator with another team.

After the upcoming matchup, Denver face a smooth-ish schedule up to their break (in week twelve) - the New York Giants, Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans plus the Raiders prior to the Chiefs.

Looking at the AFC West, Kansas City hold a losing record and the Broncos are tied with the Los Angeles Chargers on 3-2 so they could make a run at leading the West.

This hinges upon what version of the Chiefs they meet since the Broncos {beat|def
