Week six of the 2025 NFL season

Live coverage features text commentary of the weekend matchups via multiple platforms, starting with the Broncos-Jets clash in London (from 14:00 BST). Also, audio coverage is available on select stations for a separate game (beginning at 9 PM BST).

It's week six in the football calendar and following last week's talk about two top teams being possible championship contenders, they both lost their unbeaten records.

Striking in those games were the number of penalties both committed. Philadelphia did so in key moments meaning they essentially defeated themselves after leading by two touchdowns entering the final quarter against the Denver Broncos, who play overseas this Sunday.

However it proved good to observe how Denver's QB Bo Nix was able to have that deficit before direct three successful possessions on three possessions in the fourth quarter, securing the victory by four points.

The Broncos have the top defender in cornerback their star corner. They rank number one in goal-line defense, while Philadelphia lead the league in scoring near the end zone, and the Broncos won that battle.

They executed the Eagles' number regarding disguised blitzes. They did not necessarily rushing extra pass rushers instead they might plug two linebackers in the interior then drop them out and dispatch a slot defender from the outside.

Early on in the campaign, we said during a show that Denver might emerge as this season's dark horses. They finished last season strongly then did a good job of building upon that.

Recently acquired tight end their tight end has stepped up significantly while recent RB their rusher is a guy they believe in. He's currently fifth league-wide for rushing yards (402) as well as tied-fourth for rushing touchdowns (4).

I love that head coach Sean Payton has "RUN IT!" prominently on his call sheet.

This demonstrates how the Broncos are a squad that wants to prioritize the run, because you can achieve much off the back of that. It slows opposing rushes while maintains in favourable down and distances.

This has helped QB Bo Nix, who came into the league as a first-round selection in the prior draft, passing for 29 TDs – just behind Justin Herbert for the rookie record (31 in 2020).

Other elite QBs possess the arm strength to pass anywhere, however they lack the mobility as Nix. He has exceptional arm talent, which is different, plus he is so athletic.

His assets are his mobility, the capacity to throw on the run, and finding varied release points to make throws as he moves out of the pocket, the bootlegs. He is able to deliver precision throws across the middle and past defenders.

For a young quarterback, aged 25, he displays a lot of poise in the pocket and is not bothered by extra rushers. He tries to evade a sack whenever possible and can pass under pressure. He has a high football IQ and remains very decisive.

When you consistently rush it consumes time and makes the opponent to be on the field for longer, and when you have an athletic quarterback the defense has to cover the area downfield side to side. It can be draining.

The quarterback has pushed back with the coach on the sideline at times and I think the coach appreciates that fire, that he's such a competitor. In my view it's exciting for the coach to have a young quarterback that is kind of like play-dough. The coach can truly develop him how he desires to build it. I believe it's a unique opportunity for the coach.

The head coach has won a Super Bowl and has surpassed a legend for career NFL wins (173 - tied 14th overall). He's seen it all. I think the success Denver are experiencing offensively is mostly due to his guidance, his schemes, his game sense – and the combination with the QB aids make him into who he is.

There's no better a more qualified person guiding you, to help you through some of the tougher situations and build confidence.

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 full strength? Since that wasn't a Super Bowl performance from Philadelphia in their last game.

Right now, it's unlikely the Broncos are incredible. They're performing better than most, which is a solid position to hold the AFC West. All they need to do is maintain this trajectory.

They excel at leaning into their forte, which is the ground game, and this is exactly what they must do against the Jets in London. It will likely be the JK Dobbins show, in essence.

The Jets have surrendered 140 rushing yards each contest (among the worst), five ground scores this season (in the bottom ten), and they're the sole squad without a win a game.

Ever since the league began tracking turnovers decades ago, the Jets are the first team to be without a single takeaway through five games, which is kind of shocking considering that their new coach Aaron Glenn a defensive coach with another team.

After the upcoming matchup, Denver have a smooth-ish schedule until their break (in week 12) - the New York Giants, Dallas Cowboys, the Texans plus the Raiders prior to the Kansas City Chiefs.

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

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