Week six of the 2025 NFL season

Real-time updates includes text commentary for Sunday's games on multiple platforms, beginning with the Broncos-Jets clash at Tottenham (from 14:00 BST). Also, radio commentary is available through designated networks covering a separate game (from 21:00 BST).

We're in the sixth week in the football calendar and after recent discussion regarding the Buffalo Bills and Philadelphia Eagles being possible championship contenders, each lost their unbeaten records.

Striking during those contests were the number of infractions both conceded. Philadelphia did so at crucial times so they kind of defeated themselves after leading 17-3 going into the fourth period versus Denver, who play in London this weekend.

But it was positive to observe that Denver's QB the rookie was able to have the shortfall before direct three scoring drives on three possessions during the final period, securing the victory 21-17.

Denver have the top defender in cornerback their star corner. They rank first in goal-line defense, whereas the Eagles lead the league in scoring near the end zone, yet the Broncos prevailed in that battle.

They had effective strategies in terms of simulated pressure. They did not necessarily sending extra defenders instead they might plug two LBs in the interior before withdrawing them and dispatch a slot defender off the edge.

At the start of the season, we said during a show that Denver might emerge as this season's surprise contenders. They ended last season well and did a good job in continuing that momentum.

Recently acquired tight end their tight end has excelled big and new RB JK Dobbins is a player they believe in. He's currently fifth in the NFL for rushing yards (over 400) and tied for fourth for rushing touchdowns (four).

I love how head coach Sean Payton has "RUSH!" prominently on his call sheet.

That shows how the Broncos are a squad that wants to run first, because one can do a lot off the back of that. It slows opposing rushes while maintains in positive down and distances.

This has helped quarterback the young passer, who entered the NFL as the 12th overall draft pick last year, passing for 29 TDs – second only to Justin Herbert in rookie records (31 in 2020).

Josh Allen and Herbert possess the arm strength to throw anywhere, however they lack in the same way as Nix. He boasts exceptional arm talent, which is different, plus he's highly agile.

His assets are his movement, being able to throw on the run, and using different arm angles to make throws as he moves outside protection, on rollouts. He can throw precision throws across the middle or past defenders.

For a young quarterback, aged 25, he's got a lot of composure in the pocket and isn't really fazed by extra rushers. He tries to avoid being tackled as much as possible and can throw in tight spots. He possesses sharp intelligence and is quick to decide.

When you consistently run the ball it eats up time and makes the opponent to stay on the field for longer, and when you have a mobile QB the defense has to cover the area downfield and horizontally. It can be exhausting.

Nix has bitten back with the coach during games sometimes and I think Payton likes that fire, that he's such a competitor. I think it's fun for the coach to have a rookie QB who's kind of like play-dough. The coach can truly develop him how he desires to build it. I think it's a unique opportunity for the coach.

Payton owns a championship and has passed a legend for career NFL wins (173, tying for 14th). He has witnessed everything. In my opinion the achievements the Broncos are having offensively is mostly due to his leadership, his schemes, his situational awareness – and the combination with Nix helps make him what he is.

There's no better a better guy in your ear, to assist you during some of the tougher situations and build self-belief.

I have faith in the Broncos' defense, in Bo Nix's tenacity and composure. But is the team strong enough to face a top squad at full strength? Because that wasn't championship-level play by the Eagles last Sunday.

Currently, I don't think Denver are incredible. They're performing better than most, which is a good place to hold the AFC West. The key to do to continue this path.

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

The Jets have allowed 140 yards on the ground per game (sixth worst), five ground scores so far (in the bottom ten), and they're the sole squad yet to win a game.

Ever since the league started recording takeaways in 1933, this team are the first team to go without any turnovers through five games, which is kind of shocking considering that their new coach was previously a defensive coach at the Detroit Lions.

Following this Sunday's game, the Broncos have a manageable slate until their break (in week twelve) - the New York Giants, Dallas Cowboys, the Texans plus Las Vegas Raiders prior to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Looking at their division, the Chiefs are 2-3 while Denver are even with the Los Angeles Chargers at 3-2 meaning they could challenge at leading the division.

It depends on which form of the Chiefs they face because the Broncos {beat|def
