Week six of the 2025 NFL season

Live coverage includes text commentary of Sunday's games on multiple platforms, starting with the Broncos-Jets clash in London (kicking off at 2 PM BST). Additionally, audio coverage can be heard through select stations covering another key matchup (from 21:00 BST).

We're in the sixth week of the NFL season , following recent talk regarding the Buffalo Bills and Philadelphia Eagles being a potential Super Bowl match-up, they both surrendered their unbeaten records.

Notable in those games were the amount of penalties each committed. The Eagles did so at crucial times meaning they essentially defeated themselves after leading by two touchdowns entering the final quarter against Denver, set to play overseas this Sunday.

However it proved good to see that Denver quarterback the rookie managed to have that deficit before direct three successful possessions in three attempts in the fourth quarter, securing the victory 21-17.

The Broncos boast the defensive player of the year in cornerback their star corner. They rank first in goal-line defense, while the Eagles lead the league in scoring near the end zone, and the Broncos won that contest.

They executed the Eagles' number in terms of simulated pressure. They did not necessarily sending extra pass rushers instead they could plug two linebackers in the interior before drop them out and dispatch a slot defender off the edge.

Early on of the season, it was noted during a show that the Broncos might emerge as the current year's dark horses. They ended last season well then did a good job in continuing that momentum.

New tight end Evan Engram has stepped up big and new RB JK Dobbins is a player they believe in. He now ranks 5th league-wide in ground gains (402) and tied for fourth for rushing touchdowns (four).

It's impressive that head coach Sean Payton has "RUSH!" prominently of his playcall sheet.

That shows how Denver are a squad aiming to prioritize the run, because you can achieve much based on that approach. It reduces opposing rushes while maintains in favourable down and distances.

It's also benefited quarterback the young passer, who came the NFL as the 12th overall draft pick in the prior draft, passing for 29 TDs – second only to Justin Herbert in rookie records (31 in 2020).

Other elite QBs have the arm strength to throw anywhere, however they lack in the same way that Nix has. He has incredible passing ability, a unique trait, and he's highly agile.

His strengths are his mobility, the capacity to throw on the run, and using varied release points to deliver throws when he rolls outside protection, the bootlegs. He can throw that layered pass over the middle and over the corner.

For a young quarterback, aged 25, he displays a lot of poise in the pocket and isn't bothered by the blitz. He aims to avoid a sack whenever possible and is able pass under pressure. He possesses a high football IQ and is very decisive.

When you constantly run the ball it consumes time and makes the defence to stay on the field extended periods, and when you have an athletic quarterback the defence must defend the field vertically and horizontally. This proves draining.

Nix has pushed back with the coach during games sometimes and I think the coach likes that fire, that he's a fierce rival. In my view it's exciting for the coach to coach a rookie QB that is kind of like play-dough. He can truly build something up the way he desires to build it. I believe it's a unique opportunity for the coach.

Payton owns a Super Bowl and now surpassed Bill Parcells in all-time victories (173 - tied 14th overall). He's seen it all. I think the achievements Denver are experiencing offensively is mostly down to his guidance, his play-calling, his situational awareness – and the combination with Nix aids make him into who he is.

There's no better a better guy in your ear, to assist you through difficult moments and boost self-belief.

I believe in Denver's defence, in Bo Nix's tenacity and composure. Yet is the team good enough to face a top squad at its best? Since that was not championship-level play from Philadelphia in their last game.

Currently, it's unlikely Denver are incredible. They're working better than most, which is a good place to hold the AFC West. All they need to do is maintain this path.

They're really good at embracing their forte, which is the ground game, and that's exactly what they must do versus the Jets in London. It's going to be the JK Dobbins show, essentially.

The Jets have allowed 140 rushing yards each contest (among the worst), five rushing touchdowns this season (10th worst), and they're the sole squad yet to win a game.

Since the league began tracking takeaways decades ago, the Jets are also the first team to be without any turnovers in five outings, this is kind of shocking considering that their new coach Aaron Glenn a defensive coach with another team.

After this Sunday's game, the Broncos have a smooth-ish schedule up to their bye (in week twelve) - the Giants, Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans plus the Raiders before the Chiefs.

In their division, Kansas City are 2-3 and the Broncos are tied with the Chargers on 3-2 meaning they could make a run at leading the division.

This hinges upon which form Kansas City shows up they face since the Broncos {beat|def
