Week six of the 2025 NFL season

Real-time updates includes text commentary for the weekend matchups via various channels, starting with the Broncos-Jets clash in London (kicking off at 2 PM BST). Also, audio coverage can be heard through select stations for a separate game (beginning at 9 PM BST).

It's week six in the NFL season and following recent discussion about two top teams being a potential Super Bowl match-up, they both surrendered their perfect starts.

Striking in those games was the number of infractions each committed. The Eagles committed them in key moments meaning they essentially defeated themselves after leading by two touchdowns entering the final quarter versus Denver, set to play overseas this weekend.

But it was good to observe that Denver's QB the rookie was able to overcome the shortfall before lead three scoring drives in three attempts during the final period, securing the game 21-17.

Denver have the top defender with cornerback their star corner. They are first in red zone defence, while Philadelphia are number one in red zone offence, and Denver won that battle.

They had the Eagles' number in terms of simulated pressure. They did not necessarily rushing extra pass rushers instead they could position two linebackers in the 'A' gap before drop them out and dispatch a slot defender from the outside.

At the start of the season, it was noted during a show how the Broncos could be the current year's surprise contenders. They finished last season strongly and did a good job in continuing that momentum.

New TE Evan Engram has excelled big while new running back JK Dobbins is a player they believe in. He now ranks 5th league-wide for rushing yards (over 400) and tied for fourth in rushing scores (4).

I love that the coach the Broncos' leader displays "RUSH!" prominently on his call sheet.

That shows how the Broncos represent a squad aiming to run first, since one can do a lot off the back of that. It slows opposing rushes and keeps you in favourable situations.

It's also benefited quarterback the young passer, who entered the NFL as the 12th overall draft pick in the prior draft, passing for 29 touchdown passes – just behind Justin Herbert in rookie records (31 back in 2020).

Other elite QBs have powerful arms to pass all over, however they lack the mobility that Nix has. He has exceptional passing ability, which is different, plus he's highly agile.

His assets are his mobility, being able to pass on the run, and using different arm angles to deliver throws as he moves out of the pocket, the bootlegs. He is able to throw that layered pass across the middle or past defenders.

As a rookie QB, aged 25, he displays a lot of composure under pressure and is not really fazed by the blitz. He aims to evade being tackled whenever possible and is able throw in tight spots. He possesses sharp intelligence and remains quick to decide.

When you consistently run the ball it eats up the clock and makes the defence to be on the field extended periods, and if you've got an athletic quarterback the defence must cover the area downfield and horizontally. It can be draining.

The quarterback has pushed back with the coach on the sideline at times and I think Payton appreciates that fire, that he's a fierce rival. I think it's exciting for the coach to have a rookie QB who's kind of like moldable clay. He can really develop him how he desires to shape him. I believe it's a unique opportunity for the coach.

The head coach owns a Super Bowl and has passed Bill Parcells in all-time victories (173 - tied 14th overall). He has witnessed everything. In my opinion the success the Broncos are having offensively is mostly down to his guidance, his play-calling, his situational awareness – and the pairing with the QB aids shape him what he is.

There's no better a more qualified person in your ear, to assist you through difficult moments and build confidence.

I believe in Denver's defence, in Bo Nix's tenacity and composure. But is the team strong 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 good place to hold the AFC West. The key 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 against the Jets at Tottenham. It's going to be a Dobbins-focused game, in essence.

New York have allowed 140 yards on the ground per game (among the worst), five rushing touchdowns this season (in the bottom ten), and they are the sole squad without a win a game.

Ever since the NFL began tracking turnovers decades ago, the Jets are also the first team to be without any turnovers through five games, which is kind of shocking considering that their new coach Aaron Glenn defensive co-ordinator with another team.

Following this Sunday's game, Denver have a smooth-ish schedule until their break (in week 12) - the New York Giants, the Cowboys, Houston Texans plus the Raiders prior to the Kansas City Chiefs.

In the AFC West, Kansas City are 2-3 and the Broncos are tied with the Los Angeles Chargers at 3-2 meaning they could challenge for the top of the division.

This hinges on what version Kansas City shows up they face since the Broncos {beat|def
