NFL 2025 season: Week six

Live coverage features live text for Sunday's games via various channels, starting with the Broncos-Jets clash at Tottenham (kicking off at 2 PM BST). Also, audio coverage can be heard on designated networks covering a separate game (from 21:00 BST).

We're in the sixth week of the football calendar , after recent talk regarding two top teams being a potential Super Bowl match-up, they both surrendered their unbeaten records.

Striking in those games was the amount of penalties both committed. The Eagles committed them at crucial times so they kind of beat themselves having led by two touchdowns going into the final quarter versus the Denver Broncos, set to play overseas this weekend.

However it was good to see how Denver quarterback the rookie was able to overcome that deficit before direct three scoring drives on three possessions in the fourth quarter, securing the game by four points.

The Broncos boast the top defender in cornerback their star corner. They are first in goal-line defense, while the Eagles are number one in red zone offence, yet Denver prevailed in that battle.

They executed the Eagles' number regarding simulated pressure. They did not always sending more than four pass rushers but they might position two LBs in the interior then withdrawing them and send a slot defender off the edge.

At the start of the season, it was noted during a show how the Broncos might emerge as the current year's dark horses. They finished the previous year strongly and did a good job in continuing that momentum.

Recently acquired TE Evan Engram has stepped up significantly while recent RB their rusher is a player the team trusts. He's currently fifth in the NFL in ground gains (over 400) as well as tied for fourth for rushing touchdowns (4).

It's impressive that the coach the Broncos' leader displays "RUN IT!" at the top on his call sheet.

This demonstrates that Denver represent a squad that wants to run first, because you can achieve much off the back of that. It reduces down the pass rush and maintains in favourable down and distances.

It's also benefited QB Bo Nix, who came the NFL as a first-round selection in the prior draft, passing for 29 touchdown passes – second only to Justin Herbert in rookie records (31 in 2020).

Josh Allen and Herbert possess the arm strength to pass anywhere, but they don't move in the same way that Nix has. He boasts incredible arm talent, which is different, plus he's highly agile.

His assets are his mobility, the capacity to throw on the run, as well as using varied release points to make throws as he moves outside protection, the bootlegs. He can deliver precision throws across the middle and past defenders.

For a young quarterback, aged 25, he's got a lot of composure under pressure and is not bothered by the blitz. He tries to evade a sack as much as possible and is able pass under pressure. He possesses a high football IQ and remains quick to decide.

When you consistently run the ball it consumes time and forces the defence to be on the field for longer, and if you've got a mobile QB the defense must defend the field vertically and horizontally. This proves draining.

Nix has bitten back at Payton on the sideline sometimes and it seems Payton likes that fire, seeing him as such a competitor. I think it's fun for him to coach a young quarterback that is kind of like moldable clay. He 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 championship and has passed Bill Parcells in all-time victories (173 - tied 14th overall). He has witnessed everything. I think the achievements the Broncos are experiencing offensively is mostly due to his guidance, his schemes, his game sense – and the pairing with Nix aids shape him into who he is.

There's no better a more qualified person in your ear, to assist you during some of the tougher situations and build confidence.

I believe in the Broncos' defense, in Bo Nix's tenacity and composure. But is the team strong enough to go against a top squad at its best? Because that was not a Super Bowl performance by the Eagles last Sunday.

Currently, I don't think Denver are incredible. They're performing better than most, which is a good place to hold the AFC West. The key is to continue this path.

They're really good at embracing their strength, that is running the ball, and that's precisely what they must do versus the Jets in London. It will likely be a Dobbins-focused game, essentially.

New York have surrendered 140 rushing yards per game (among the worst), five rushing touchdowns this season (10th worst), and they're the sole squad without a win a game.

Since the NFL began tracking turnovers decades ago, the Jets are the first team to go without a single takeaway in five outings, which is surprising when you think that the head coach Aaron Glenn defensive co-ordinator at the Detroit Lions.

After this Sunday's game, the Broncos face a manageable slate until their break (in week twelve) - the Giants, Dallas Cowboys, the Texans plus the Raiders before the Chiefs.

In their division, the Chiefs hold a losing record and the Broncos are tied with the Los Angeles Chargers on 3-2 meaning they could challenge at leading the West.

This hinges on which form Kansas City shows up they face because Denver {beat|def
