Week six of the 2025 NFL season
Live coverage features live text of the weekend matchups on multiple platforms, beginning with Denver Broncos v New York Jets in London (kicking off at 2 PM BST). Additionally, audio coverage is available on designated networks for a separate game (beginning at 9 PM BST).
We're in the sixth week of the NFL season , following recent discussion about the Buffalo Bills and Philadelphia Eagles as a potential Super Bowl match-up, they both surrendered their perfect starts.
Notable in those games were the amount of infractions both committed. The Eagles did so in key moments meaning they kind of defeated themselves after leading 17-3 entering the fourth period against Denver, who play overseas this Sunday.
But it proved positive to see how Denver's QB the rookie managed to overcome that deficit before lead three successful possessions in three attempts during the final period, securing the victory by four points.
The Broncos boast the defensive player of the year in CB their star corner. They rank first in red zone defence, while Philadelphia lead the league in red zone offence, and Denver won that contest.
They executed the Eagles' number in terms of simulated pressure. They weren't necessarily rushing more than four pass rushers instead they might position two linebackers in the 'A' gap then withdrawing them and dispatch a nickel off the edge.
Early on in the campaign, it was noted during a show that Denver might emerge as the current year's dark horses. They finished last season strongly then did a good job of building upon that.
Could Denver be this season's underdog story?
New tight end Evan Engram has stepped up big while recent running back their rusher is a guy they believe in. He now ranks fifth league-wide for rushing yards (402) as well as tied-fourth in rushing scores (four).
I love how head coach the Broncos' leader has "RUN IT!" prominently of his playcall sheet.
That shows that the Broncos are a team aiming to prioritize the run, since one can achieve much based on that approach. It reduces down the pass rush and keeps you in favourable situations.
This has helped QB the young passer, who entered into the league as the 12th overall draft pick last year, 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 as Nix. He has incredible arm talent, a unique trait, and he's highly agile.
His assets are his movement, being able to pass on the run, and finding varied release points to make the pass when he rolls out of the pocket, on rollouts. He is able to deliver precision throws over the middle and past defenders.
As a rookie QB, aged 25, he displays a lot of composure under pressure and is not bothered by the blitz. He tries to avoid being tackled as much as possible and is able pass under pressure. He has a high football IQ and is very decisive.
If you consistently run the ball it consumes time and forces the defence to be in play extended periods, and when you've got an athletic quarterback the defence must defend the field downfield side to side. This proves exhausting.
Nix has bitten back with the coach on the sideline at times and I think the coach likes that fire, seeing him as a fierce rival. In my view it's fun for him to coach a young quarterback who's similar to moldable clay. He can really develop him how he desires to build it. I believe it's a unique opportunity for the coach.
The head coach owns a Super Bowl and now surpassed a legend for career NFL wins (173 - tied 14th overall). He's seen it all. I think the success Denver are experiencing on offence is largely down to his guidance, his schemes, his situational awareness – and the pairing with the QB aids shape him into who he is.
There's no better a more qualified person in your ear, to help you during difficult moments and boost confidence.
I have faith in the Broncos' defense, in the QB's grit and calm. Yet are they strong enough to face an elite team at full strength? Since that wasn't championship-level play from Philadelphia in their last game.
Currently, it's unlikely Denver are incredible. They're performing better than most, that's a solid position to hold the AFC West. The key to do to continue this trajectory.
They're really good at embracing their strength, that is the ground game, and this is exactly what they should do against the New York Jets in London. It will likely be a Dobbins-focused game, in essence.
The Jets have allowed 140 yards on the ground each contest (among the worst), five ground scores this season (in the bottom ten), and they are the sole squad yet to win any game.
Since the NFL began tracking turnovers in 1933, the Jets are the inaugural squad to go without a single takeaway in five outings, this is kind of shocking considering that the head coach was previously a defensive coach with another team.
Patrick Mahomes says Kansas City have 'already lost too many games' following a recent loss by the Jaguars.
Following this Sunday's game, Denver have a smooth-ish schedule until their break (in week 12) - the Giants, the Cowboys, Houston Texans and Las Vegas Raiders before the Kansas City Chiefs.
Looking at their division, Kansas City are 2-3 and the Broncos are even with the Los Angeles Chargers at 3-2 so they could make a run for the top of the division.
It depends on which form Kansas City shows up they face because Denver {beat|def
