NFL 2025 season: Week six

Real-time updates includes live text of the weekend matchups via multiple platforms, starting with Denver Broncos v New York Jets in London (from 14:00 BST). Also, radio commentary is available on select stations covering a separate game (beginning at 9 PM BST).

It's week six in the football calendar and after last week's discussion regarding two top teams being possible championship contenders, each lost their unbeaten records.

Notable during those contests was the number of penalties each conceded. The Eagles did so at crucial times so they essentially beat themselves after leading by two touchdowns going into the fourth period versus the Denver Broncos, set to play in London this weekend.

However it proved positive to see how Denver's QB the rookie was able to have the shortfall before lead three successful possessions in three attempts during the final period, to win the game by four points.

The Broncos boast the top defender in CB their star corner. They rank first in red zone defence, whereas Philadelphia are number one in red zone offence, yet the Broncos prevailed in that battle.

They had the Eagles' number regarding simulated pressure. They did not necessarily sending extra pass rushers instead they might position two LBs in the interior before withdrawing them and dispatch a nickel from the outside.

At the start of the season, it was noted on a program how Denver could be this season's dark horses. They finished last season well then did a good job of building upon that.

Recently acquired TE their tight end has excelled significantly while recent running back JK Dobbins is a player the team trusts. He now ranks 5th league-wide in ground gains (over 400) as well as tied for fourth for rushing touchdowns (four).

It's impressive that the coach Sean Payton displays "RUSH!" at the top of his playcall sheet.

That shows that the Broncos are a squad aiming to run first, because one can achieve much off the back of that. It slows opposing rushes while maintains in favourable down and distances.

This has benefited quarterback the young passer, who came into the league as the 12th overall draft pick in the prior draft, throwing 29 touchdown passes – second only to Justin Herbert for the rookie record (31 in 2020).

Josh Allen and Herbert possess the arm strength to pass all over, however they don't move in the same way that Nix has. He boasts incredible arm talent, which is different, and he's so athletic.

His strengths include his movement, being able to throw while moving, and using different arm angles to deliver the pass when he rolls outside protection, the bootlegs. He can deliver that layered pass across the middle or past defenders.

As a rookie QB, aged 25, he's got a lot of poise under pressure and isn't really fazed by extra rushers. He aims to avoid a sack whenever possible and can pass under pressure. He has sharp intelligence and remains quick to decide.

If you consistently run the ball it eats up time and makes the opponent to stay in play for longer, and if you've got a mobile QB the defence must defend the area vertically and horizontally. This proves draining.

The quarterback has pushed back with the coach during games sometimes and I think the coach likes that fire, seeing him as such a competitor. In my view it's fun for the coach to coach a young quarterback who's kind of like moldable clay. The coach can truly build something up how he wants to shape him. I believe it's a unique opportunity for him.

Payton owns a Super Bowl and now surpassed a legend for career NFL wins (173, tying for 14th). He has witnessed it all. I think the achievements the Broncos are having offensively is mostly down to his leadership, his play-calling, his game sense – and the combination with the QB aids make him what he is.

There's no better a better guy guiding you, to assist you during some of the tougher situations and boost confidence.

I have faith in Denver's defence, in the QB's grit and calm. But is the team strong enough to go against a top squad at its best? Since that wasn't a Super Bowl performance from Philadelphia in their last game.

Right now, I don't think Denver are elite. They're performing above average, that's a solid position to hold their division. All they need is to continue this trajectory.

They're really good at embracing their strength, that is running the ball, and that's exactly what they must do against the New York Jets at Tottenham. It will likely be a Dobbins-focused game, essentially.

The Jets have allowed 140 yards on the ground each contest (sixth worst), five rushing touchdowns this season (in the bottom ten), and they are the sole squad yet to win a game.

Since the league began tracking turnovers decades ago, the Jets are also the first team to be without any turnovers in five outings, which is surprising when you think that their new coach was previously a defensive coach at the Detroit Lions.

Following the upcoming matchup, Denver face a manageable slate until their bye (in week twelve) - the Giants, the Cowboys, Houston Texans and Las Vegas Raiders prior to the Kansas City Chiefs.

In the AFC West, the Chiefs hold a losing record while Denver are tied with the Los Angeles Chargers at 3-2 so they could make a run at leading the division.

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