NFL 2025 season: Week six

Real-time updates features text commentary for Sunday's games on multiple platforms, beginning with Denver Broncos v New York Jets at Tottenham (from 14:00 BST). Also, radio commentary can be heard through designated networks for another key matchup (from 21:00 BST).

We're in the sixth week in the NFL season , following last week's discussion regarding two top teams being a potential Super Bowl match-up, they both lost their perfect starts.

Striking during those contests was the number of penalties both conceded. Philadelphia did so in key moments meaning they essentially beat themselves having led 17-3 going into the final quarter against the Denver Broncos, who play in London this weekend.

But it was positive to observe how Denver quarterback the rookie was able to overcome that deficit and then lead three scoring drives on three possessions during the final period, securing the game 21-17.

The Broncos have the defensive player of the year with CB their star corner. They rank number one in red zone defence, while Philadelphia lead the league in scoring near the end zone, yet the Broncos won that battle.

They had the Eagles' number regarding disguised blitzes. They did not necessarily sending extra pass rushers instead they might position two linebackers in the interior before withdrawing them and dispatch a slot defender off the edge.

Early on of the season, it was noted on a program that the Broncos could be the current year's surprise contenders. They finished the previous year well and did a good job of building upon that.

New TE Evan Engram has stepped up big while new running back JK Dobbins is a player they believe in. He's currently 5th in the NFL for rushing yards (402) and tied-fourth in rushing scores (4).

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

This demonstrates how the Broncos are a squad that wants to prioritize the run, since one can do a lot off the back of that. It reduces down the pass rush and maintains in favourable situations.

This has benefited quarterback the young passer, who entered the NFL as a first-round selection last year, throwing 29 TDs – just behind a star QB for the rookie record (31 back in 2020).

Josh Allen and Herbert have the arm strength to pass anywhere, but they lack the mobility that Nix has. He boasts incredible arm talent, a unique trait, plus he's highly agile.

His strengths include his movement, the capacity to pass on the run, as well as using varied release points to deliver throws when he rolls outside protection, the bootlegs. He can throw precision throws over the middle or over the corner.

For a young quarterback, aged 25, he displays a lot of composure in the pocket and isn't really fazed by extra rushers. He tries to evade being tackled as much as possible and can throw in tight spots. He possesses sharp intelligence and remains very decisive.

When you consistently rush it eats up time and forces the opponent to stay in play extended periods, and when you have an athletic quarterback the defence must cover the field vertically and horizontally. This proves exhausting.

The quarterback has pushed back with the coach on the sideline at times and I think Payton likes 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. He can truly build something up how he wants to shape him. I think it's a special experience for him.

The head coach has won a Super Bowl and now passed a legend for career NFL wins (173 - tied 14th overall). He's seen everything. I think the achievements Denver are having on offence is mostly down to his leadership, his schemes, his situational awareness – and the combination with the QB helps make him into who he is.

There's no better a more qualified person 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 strong enough to go against an elite team at full strength? Because that was not a Super Bowl performance by the Eagles in their last game.

Currently, it's unlikely the Broncos are incredible. They're working better than most, that's a solid position to be in their division. The key is is maintain this trajectory.

They excel at embracing their strength, that is the ground game, and this is precisely what they must do against the Jets in London. It will likely be the JK Dobbins show, essentially.

The Jets have allowed 140 rushing yards per game (among the worst), five ground scores this season (10th worst), and they are the only team yet to win a game.

Ever since the NFL began tracking takeaways in 1933, this team are also the inaugural squad to be without any turnovers in five outings, this is surprising considering that their new coach Aaron Glenn a defensive coach at the Detroit Lions.

Following the upcoming matchup, the Broncos have a smooth-ish schedule up to their break (in week twelve) - the New York Giants, the Cowboys, the Texans and the Raiders before the Kansas City Chiefs.

Looking at their division, the Chiefs hold a losing record while Denver are even with the Chargers at 3-2 so they could make a run at leading the West.

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