Week six of the 2025 NFL season

Real-time updates includes text commentary for Sunday's games via multiple platforms, starting with Denver Broncos v New York Jets in London (from 14:00 BST). Additionally, audio coverage can be heard on select stations covering another key matchup (from 21:00 BST).

It's week six of the football calendar , following recent discussion about the Buffalo Bills and Philadelphia Eagles as possible championship contenders, they both surrendered their perfect starts.

Striking during those contests was the number of penalties both committed. Philadelphia did so in key moments so they kind of beat themselves after leading by two touchdowns entering the fourth period versus the Denver Broncos, set to play in London this weekend.

However it was positive to observe that Denver quarterback Bo Nix managed to overcome the shortfall before lead three scoring drives on three possessions in the fourth quarter, to win the victory by four points.

The Broncos boast the defensive player of the year with cornerback Pat Surtain II. They rank first in goal-line defense, whereas Philadelphia lead the league in scoring near the end zone, yet the Broncos won that battle.

They executed effective strategies regarding disguised blitzes. They weren't always rushing extra defenders instead they could plug two LBs in the 'A' gap then drop them out and send a nickel from the outside.

At the start of the season, it was noted on a program that the Broncos might emerge as this season's dark horses. They ended the previous year well then did a good job in continuing that momentum.

New tight end their tight end has stepped up significantly and recent running back their rusher is a guy they believe in. He's currently fifth in the NFL for rushing yards (over 400) as well as tied-fourth for rushing touchdowns (four).

It's impressive how the coach the Broncos' leader displays "RUN IT!" prominently of his playcall sheet.

This demonstrates how the Broncos represent a squad that wants to run first, since you can achieve much off the back of that. It slows opposing rushes and keeps you in positive down and distances.

This has helped quarterback Bo Nix, who entered into the league as a first-round selection last year, passing for 29 TDs – just behind a star QB for the rookie record (31 back in 2020).

Josh Allen and Herbert possess powerful arms to pass all over, however they don't move the mobility as Nix. He boasts incredible passing ability, a unique trait, plus he's highly agile.

His assets include his mobility, being able to throw while moving, as well as finding different arm angles to deliver throws when he rolls outside protection, the bootlegs. He can throw precision throws over the middle or past defenders.

As a rookie QB, at 25, he displays great composure under pressure and is not really fazed by extra rushers. He tries to evade a sack whenever possible and is able throw in tight spots. He has sharp intelligence and is quick to decide.

If you consistently run the ball it consumes time and makes the opponent to be on the field for longer, and if you've got a mobile QB the defense has to cover the field vertically side to side. It can be exhausting.

The quarterback has pushed back with the coach on the sideline at times and I think Payton appreciates that attitude, that he's a fierce rival. I think it's exciting for the coach to coach a young quarterback who's similar to moldable clay. The coach can truly build something up how he desires to shape him. I think it's a special experience for him.

The head coach owns a Super Bowl and has surpassed Bill Parcells in all-time victories (173, tying for 14th). He's seen everything. I think the achievements the Broncos are having on offence is largely down to his guidance, his play-calling, his game sense – and the pairing with the QB aids shape him what he is.

You wouldn't want a better guy guiding you, to assist you through some of the tougher situations and boost confidence.

I believe in Denver's defence, in the QB's grit and calm. But are they good enough to go against a top squad at its best? Since that wasn't a Super Bowl performance by the Eagles in their last game.

Currently, I don't think Denver are incredible. They're performing above average, which is a good place to be in the AFC West. All they need is is maintain this trajectory.

They excel at leaning into their forte, which is the ground game, and that's precisely what they should do against the New York Jets in London. It will likely be the JK Dobbins show, in essence.

The Jets have allowed 140 rushing yards per game (sixth worst), five ground scores this season (10th worst), and they're the sole squad yet to win a game.

Ever since the league began tracking turnovers in 1933, this team are the first team to go without a single takeaway through five games, this is kind of shocking considering that the head coach was previously a defensive coach at the Detroit Lions.

Following this Sunday's game, the Broncos face a manageable slate up to their bye (in week 12) - the New York Giants, the Cowboys, the Texans plus Las Vegas Raiders before the Chiefs.

Looking at the AFC West, Kansas City are 2-3 and the Broncos are even with the Los Angeles Chargers on 3-2 so they could make a run for the top of the division.

It depends upon which form Kansas City shows up they meet since the Broncos {beat|def
