Week six of the 2025 NFL season

Live coverage features live text for Sunday's games via multiple platforms, beginning with the Broncos-Jets clash at Tottenham (from 14:00 BST). Additionally, audio coverage can be heard on designated networks covering another key matchup (from 21:00 BST).

We're in the sixth week of the NFL season , after recent discussion regarding the Buffalo Bills and Philadelphia Eagles as possible championship contenders, they both lost their perfect starts.

Striking during those contests were the amount of infractions each conceded. The Eagles committed them at crucial times so they essentially defeated themselves after leading 17-3 going into the fourth period against the Denver Broncos, who play overseas this weekend.

But it was positive to see that Denver's QB the rookie managed to overcome the shortfall and then direct three scoring drives on three possessions during the final period, securing the game 21-17.

The Broncos boast the top defender with CB Pat Surtain II. They are number one in red zone defence, whereas the Eagles are number one in scoring near the end zone, and Denver won that contest.

They had effective strategies in terms of disguised blitzes. They did not necessarily sending extra pass rushers but they could position two LBs in the 'A' gap before drop them out and send a nickel from the outside.

At the start of the season, it was noted during a show that Denver could be this season's dark horses. They ended last season well and excelled of building upon that.

Recently acquired TE their tight end has excelled big and new RB JK Dobbins is a player they believe in. He's currently fifth league-wide for rushing yards (402) as well as tied-fourth for rushing touchdowns (4).

It's impressive that head coach Sean Payton displays "RUN IT!" prominently on his call sheet.

This demonstrates how the Broncos represent a team that wants to prioritize the run, because you can do a lot based on that approach. It slows down the pass rush and keeps you in favourable down and distances.

It's also helped QB the young passer, who entered the NFL as the 12th overall draft pick in the prior draft, throwing 29 TDs – second only to a star QB for the rookie record (31 in 2020).

Other elite QBs possess the arm strength to throw anywhere, but they don't move the mobility that Nix has. He has exceptional arm talent, a unique trait, and he is so athletic.

His strengths are his movement, the capacity to pass on the run, and finding different arm angles to deliver the pass when he rolls outside protection, the bootlegs. He can throw that layered pass across the middle or past defenders.

For a young quarterback, at 25, he displays great composure in the pocket and isn't really fazed by extra rushers. He tries to avoid being tackled as much as possible and is able throw in tight spots. He possesses sharp intelligence and is quick to decide.

When you constantly rush it consumes the clock and makes the defence to be in play extended periods, and if you have a mobile QB the defence must cover the field vertically and horizontally. It can be draining.

Nix has pushed back at Payton during games sometimes and I think the coach likes that attitude, seeing him as such a competitor. In my view it's exciting for him to have a rookie QB who's kind of like play-dough. He can really develop him the way he wants to shape him. I believe it's a special experience for him.

Payton has won a Super Bowl and has passed Bill Parcells in all-time victories (173 - tied 14th overall). He has witnessed everything. I think the success the Broncos are experiencing offensively is mostly down to his guidance, his play-calling, his situational awareness – and the combination with Nix aids make him what he is.

You wouldn't want a more qualified person guiding you, to help you through difficult moments and boost self-belief.

I believe in the Broncos' defense, 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 from Philadelphia last Sunday.

Right now, it's unlikely Denver are incredible. They're performing above average, which is a good place to be in the AFC West. The key to do is maintain this path.

They're really good at embracing their strength, which is running the ball, and that's exactly what they must do against the New York Jets at Tottenham. It's going to be the JK Dobbins show, in essence.

The Jets have surrendered 140 yards on the ground each contest (sixth worst), five ground scores so far (10th worst), and they're the sole squad yet to win any game.

Since the NFL began tracking takeaways decades ago, this team are the first team to be without a single takeaway through five games, this is surprising when you think that the head coach was previously a defensive coach at the Detroit Lions.

Following this Sunday's game, Denver face a manageable slate up to their break (in week twelve) - the New York Giants, Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans and the Raiders prior to the Kansas City Chiefs.

In their division, the Chiefs hold a losing record while Denver are tied with the Chargers on 3-2 meaning they could challenge for the top of the West.

This hinges upon what version Kansas City shows up they face because Denver {beat|def
