NFL 2025 season: Week six
Live coverage features live text of Sunday's games via various channels, starting with Denver Broncos v New York Jets at Tottenham (kicking off at 2 PM BST). Also, radio commentary can be heard through designated networks for a separate game (beginning at 9 PM BST).
It's week six of the NFL season , following last week's talk regarding the Buffalo Bills and Philadelphia Eagles being possible championship contenders, each surrendered their perfect starts.
Notable during those contests were the number of penalties both conceded. Philadelphia committed them at crucial times so they essentially defeated themselves after leading 17-3 going into the fourth period versus the Denver Broncos, who play in London this weekend.
But it proved positive to see how Denver's QB Bo Nix managed to have the shortfall before direct three successful possessions in three attempts during the final period, to win the victory by four points.
Denver have the top defender with cornerback their star corner. They are first in goal-line defense, while the Eagles lead the league in scoring near the end zone, and the Broncos prevailed in that battle.
They had effective strategies regarding simulated pressure. They weren't necessarily rushing more than four defenders but they might plug two linebackers in the 'A' gap before withdrawing them and send a nickel from the outside.
Early on of the season, we said on a program that Denver might emerge as this season's dark horses. They finished last season strongly then excelled of building upon that.
Are the Denver Broncos this season's underdog story?
Recently acquired TE Evan Engram has stepped up significantly and recent RB their rusher is a guy the team trusts. He's currently fifth in the NFL for rushing yards (402) and tied for fourth for rushing touchdowns (4).
I love how head coach Sean Payton has "RUSH!" at the top of his playcall sheet.
This demonstrates how the Broncos represent a team that wants to prioritize the run, since one can achieve much off the back of that. It reduces opposing rushes and maintains in favourable situations.
This has benefited quarterback the young passer, who entered into the league as a first-round selection in the prior draft, throwing 29 touchdown passes – just behind a star QB for the rookie record (31 in 2020).
Josh Allen and Herbert have the arm strength to throw anywhere, but they lack in the same way as Nix. He boasts exceptional passing ability, a unique trait, and he is highly agile.
His assets include his movement, being able to throw while moving, as well as finding different arm angles to make throws when he rolls outside protection, the bootlegs. He can throw that layered pass across the middle and past defenders.
As a rookie QB, at 25, he's got great composure under pressure and isn't really fazed by extra rushers. He aims to avoid being tackled as much as possible and is able pass under pressure. He has sharp intelligence and remains very decisive.
When you constantly rush it eats up the clock and makes the opponent to be in play extended periods, and when you've got a mobile QB the defense must defend the field downfield and horizontally. This proves draining.
The quarterback has pushed back with the coach on the sideline at times and it seems the coach likes that attitude, that he's such a competitor. I think it's fun for the coach to coach a rookie QB who's similar to play-dough. The coach can really develop him the way he desires to build it. I think it's a special experience for him.
The head coach has won a Super Bowl and has surpassed Bill Parcells in all-time victories (173 - tied 14th overall). He has witnessed everything. I think the achievements the Broncos are having offensively is mostly down to his guidance, his play-calling, his situational awareness – and the combination with Nix aids shape him what he is.
You wouldn't want a more qualified person guiding you, to help you during some of the tougher situations and boost self-belief.
I believe in the Broncos' defense, in Bo Nix's tenacity and composure. Yet are they good enough to go against an elite team at full strength? Since that was not a Super Bowl performance by the Eagles in their last game.
Right now, I don't think Denver are elite. They're working better than most, which is a good place to be in the AFC West. The key is to continue this path.
They excel at leaning into their forte, that is the ground game, and that's precisely what they must do against the New York Jets at Tottenham. It's going to be the JK Dobbins show, essentially.
The Jets have allowed 140 rushing yards per game (sixth worst), five ground scores this season (in the bottom ten), and they are the sole squad without a win any game.
Ever since the NFL started recording turnovers in 1933, the Jets are also the inaugural squad to be without a single takeaway in five outings, which is kind of shocking considering that the head coach was previously defensive co-ordinator at the Detroit Lions.
Patrick Mahomes says the Chiefs have 'already lost too many games' following Monday's defeat to Jacksonville.
After the upcoming matchup, the Broncos have a smooth-ish schedule up to their bye (in week 12) - the Giants, Dallas Cowboys, the Texans and the Raiders prior to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Looking at their division, Kansas City are 2-3 and the Broncos are tied with the Los Angeles Chargers on 3-2 so they could challenge at leading the division.
This hinges upon what version of the Chiefs they face since Denver {beat|def
