Week six of the 2025 NFL season

Real-time updates features text commentary for Sunday's games on various channels, starting with Denver Broncos v New York Jets in London (kicking off at 2 PM BST). Additionally, radio commentary can be heard on designated networks for another key matchup (from 21:00 BST).

It's week six in the football calendar , after recent talk about two top teams being possible championship contenders, they both lost their unbeaten records.

Notable in those games was the amount of penalties each conceded. The Eagles did so at crucial times so they essentially defeated themselves after leading by two touchdowns going into the final quarter against Denver, who play in London this weekend.

However it was good to observe that Denver quarterback Bo Nix was able to have that deficit before direct three successful possessions on three possessions in the fourth quarter, securing the game by four points.

The Broncos have the defensive player of the year with CB Pat Surtain II. They are first in goal-line defense, whereas Philadelphia are number one in red zone offence, yet Denver prevailed in that battle.

They had effective strategies regarding simulated pressure. They did not always sending more than four pass rushers instead they could position two LBs in the 'A' gap then withdrawing them and send a slot defender off the edge.

At the start in the campaign, it was noted on a program how the Broncos might emerge as the current year's dark horses. They finished last season strongly then did a good job in continuing that momentum.

Recently acquired tight end Evan Engram has excelled significantly and recent running back JK Dobbins is a guy they believe in. He's currently fifth in the NFL in ground gains (402) as well as tied-fourth for rushing touchdowns (4).

It's impressive that the coach the Broncos' leader displays "RUN IT!" at the top on his call sheet.

This demonstrates that the Broncos represent a team that wants to run first, since you can achieve much based on that approach. It reduces down the pass rush while keeps you in favourable situations.

It's also benefited QB the young passer, who came into the league as a first-round selection last year, throwing 29 TDs – second only to a star QB in rookie records (31 in 2020).

Josh Allen and Herbert possess the arm strength to throw anywhere, however they don't move the mobility that Nix has. He has exceptional passing ability, which is different, and he's highly agile.

His strengths are his movement, the capacity to pass on the run, as well as finding different arm angles to make the pass when he rolls out of the pocket, the bootlegs. He is able to throw precision throws over the middle and over the corner.

As a rookie QB, aged 25, he displays great poise in the pocket and isn't really fazed by extra rushers. He tries to evade a sack whenever possible and is able pass under pressure. He possesses a high football IQ and remains very decisive.

If you consistently run the ball it eats up time and makes the defence to stay on the field for longer, and when you've got a mobile QB the defence has to cover the field vertically and horizontally. It can be exhausting.

The quarterback has bitten back at Payton during games sometimes and I think the coach likes that attitude, that he's such a competitor. I think it's fun for him to coach a young quarterback that is similar to play-dough. He can truly build something up how he wants to shape him. I think it's a special experience for him.

The head coach owns a Super Bowl and has passed a legend in all-time victories (173, tying for 14th). He has witnessed everything. In my opinion the achievements the Broncos are having offensively is largely due to his leadership, his schemes, his game sense – and the pairing with the QB helps shape him what he is.

You wouldn't want a more qualified person in your ear, to assist you during some of the tougher situations and boost confidence.

I have faith in the Broncos' defense, in Bo Nix's tenacity and composure. But are they good enough to face an elite team at full strength? Since that was not championship-level play from Philadelphia last Sunday.

Right now, I don't think Denver are elite. They're performing better than most, that's a good place to hold their division. The key is to continue this path.

They're really good at leaning into their forte, which is running the ball, and that's exactly what they should do versus the Jets at Tottenham. It will likely be the JK Dobbins show, in essence.

The Jets have allowed 140 yards on the ground per game (among the worst), five rushing touchdowns so far (10th worst), and they are the only team yet to win a game.

Since the NFL began tracking turnovers in 1933, this team are the first team to go without a single takeaway in five outings, this is kind of shocking when you think that the head coach Aaron Glenn defensive co-ordinator with another team.

After the upcoming matchup, the Broncos have a smooth-ish schedule until their break (in week twelve) - the Giants, Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans and Las Vegas Raiders prior to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Looking at their division, the Chiefs are 2-3 and the Broncos are even with the Chargers at 3-2 meaning they could challenge at leading the division.

This hinges on which form of the Chiefs they meet since Denver {beat|def
