Week six of the 2025 NFL season

Real-time updates includes live text for the weekend matchups via multiple platforms, beginning with the Broncos-Jets clash at Tottenham (kicking off at 2 PM BST). Additionally, radio commentary can be heard on designated networks for another key matchup (from 21:00 BST).

It's week six in the football calendar and after last week's discussion regarding two top teams being a potential Super Bowl match-up, each lost their perfect starts.

Striking in those games were the number of penalties each committed. Philadelphia committed them at crucial times so they kind of beat themselves after leading 17-3 entering the fourth period versus Denver, set to play overseas this Sunday.

But it proved good to see that Denver quarterback the rookie managed to overcome the shortfall and then direct three scoring drives in three attempts in the fourth quarter, to win the victory by four points.

Denver boast the top defender with CB their star corner. They are number one in goal-line defense, while Philadelphia lead the league in red zone offence, and Denver won that battle.

They had effective strategies in terms of simulated pressure. They did not necessarily rushing more than four pass rushers but 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 during a show how Denver might emerge as the current year's surprise contenders. They ended the previous year strongly then excelled of building upon that.

New TE their tight end has stepped up significantly and new RB their rusher is a player they believe in. He now ranks 5th in the NFL for rushing yards (402) and tied for fourth for rushing touchdowns (four).

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

That shows how the Broncos represent a squad aiming to prioritize the run, because you can achieve much off the back of that. It slows opposing rushes and keeps you in positive down and distances.

It's also benefited QB Bo Nix, who entered the NFL as the 12th overall draft pick in the prior draft, throwing 29 touchdown passes – second only to a star QB for the rookie record (31 back in 2020).

Josh Allen and Herbert have powerful arms to pass all over, however they lack the mobility as Nix. He boasts exceptional arm talent, a unique trait, plus he's so athletic.

His assets are his movement, the capacity to throw on the run, and using varied release points to deliver throws when he rolls outside protection, on rollouts. He is able to throw that layered pass over the middle and over the corner.

As a rookie QB, at 25, he's got a lot of poise under pressure and is not bothered by extra rushers. He aims to avoid being tackled as much as possible and can pass under pressure. He possesses sharp intelligence and remains quick to decide.

When you consistently run the ball it eats up time and makes the defence to stay in play extended periods, and when you have a mobile QB the defense has to cover the field downfield and horizontally. This proves exhausting.

The quarterback has pushed back at Payton on the sideline sometimes and it seems Payton likes that attitude, seeing him as a fierce rival. I think it's exciting for him to coach a rookie QB that is kind of like moldable clay. The coach can truly build something up how he wants to shape him. I think it's a special experience for him.

Payton has won a Super Bowl and has surpassed a legend for career NFL wins (173 - tied 14th overall). He's seen it all. I think the achievements Denver are having offensively is largely down 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 better guy in your ear, to assist you during some of the tougher situations and build confidence.

I believe in Denver's defence, in Bo Nix's tenacity and composure. Yet are they good enough to face an elite team at full strength? Because that was not championship-level play from Philadelphia in their last game.

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

They excel at embracing their forte, which is the ground game, and this is precisely what they should do against the Jets at Tottenham. It's going to be the JK Dobbins show, essentially.

New York have surrendered 140 rushing yards each contest (among the worst), five ground scores so far (in the bottom ten), and they are the sole squad yet to win any game.

Ever since the league started recording turnovers in 1933, the Jets are the inaugural squad to go without any turnovers through five games, this is surprising considering that the head coach was previously a defensive coach at the Detroit Lions.

After this Sunday's game, the Broncos have a smooth-ish schedule until their bye (in week twelve) - the Giants, Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans and the Raiders before the Chiefs.

Looking at the AFC West, Kansas City are 2-3 and the Broncos are tied with the Chargers on 3-2 so they could make a run for the top of the West.

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