Week six of the 2025 NFL season

Live coverage includes live text for Sunday's games on various channels, beginning with the Broncos-Jets clash at Tottenham (from 14:00 BST). Also, radio commentary can be heard through select stations covering a separate game (beginning at 9 PM BST).

We're in the sixth week in the NFL season and following last week's discussion regarding two top teams as possible championship contenders, each surrendered their unbeaten records.

Striking during those contests were the number of infractions both committed. The Eagles did so in key moments so they essentially beat themselves after leading 17-3 going into the final quarter against Denver, who play in London this weekend.

However it proved positive to observe that Denver's QB the rookie managed to have that deficit before direct three scoring drives in three attempts during the final period, securing the game 21-17.

The Broncos have the defensive player of the year with cornerback their star corner. They are number one in red zone defence, whereas the Eagles lead the league in red zone offence, and the Broncos won that battle.

They had effective strategies regarding simulated pressure. They did not always sending more than four defenders but they might plug two LBs in the interior then withdrawing them and send a nickel from the outside.

Early on of the season, it was noted on a program how Denver might emerge as this season's dark horses. They ended last season well then did a good job in continuing that momentum.

New TE Evan Engram has stepped up significantly and recent running back JK Dobbins is a player the team trusts. He's currently fifth league-wide for rushing yards (402) and tied for fourth in rushing scores (4).

I love that the coach Sean Payton has "RUSH!" prominently of his playcall sheet.

This demonstrates that the Broncos represent a team aiming to prioritize the run, because one can do a lot off the back of that. It reduces opposing rushes and keeps you in positive down and distances.

This has benefited QB the young passer, who entered into the league as a first-round selection last year, passing for 29 touchdown passes – just behind Justin Herbert for the rookie record (31 back in 2020).

Josh Allen and Herbert have powerful arms to throw anywhere, however they lack the mobility that Nix has. He has incredible arm talent, a unique trait, plus he is highly agile.

His assets are his mobility, the capacity to throw on the run, and using different arm angles to deliver the pass as he moves outside protection, on rollouts. He can deliver precision throws across the middle or over the corner.

As a rookie QB, aged 25, he's got great poise in the pocket and is not really fazed by extra rushers. He tries to avoid a sack as much as possible and is able throw in tight spots. He possesses sharp intelligence and is very decisive.

When you consistently rush it eats up time and makes the defence to stay on the field extended periods, and if you've got an athletic quarterback the defense must cover the area vertically side to side. This proves exhausting.

Nix has pushed back with the coach on the sideline sometimes and I think the coach appreciates that attitude, that he's such a competitor. I think it's fun for the coach to coach a young quarterback that is kind of like moldable clay. He can really build something up the way he desires to build it. I believe it's a unique opportunity for him.

The head coach has won a Super Bowl and now passed Bill Parcells for career NFL wins (173 - tied 14th overall). He has witnessed everything. I think the achievements Denver are having on offence is mostly due to his leadership, his play-calling, his game sense – and the combination with Nix helps shape him what he is.

There's no better a more qualified person guiding you, to assist you through some of the tougher situations and build self-belief.

I have faith in the Broncos' defense, in the QB's grit and calm. Yet is the team strong enough to go against an elite team at full strength? Because that was not championship-level play by the Eagles last Sunday.

Right now, I don't think the Broncos are elite. They're performing above average, that's a solid position to be in the AFC West. The key is to continue this trajectory.

They excel at leaning into their strength, that is running the ball, and that's exactly what they should do versus the New York Jets at Tottenham. It's going to be the JK Dobbins show, essentially.

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

Ever since the league began tracking turnovers decades ago, the Jets are the inaugural squad to be without any turnovers through five games, which is kind of shocking considering that the head coach Aaron Glenn defensive co-ordinator with another team.

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

In the AFC West, Kansas City are 2-3 while Denver are even with the Los Angeles Chargers on 3-2 meaning they could challenge at leading the division.

It depends upon which form of the Chiefs they face since the Broncos {beat|def
