NFL 2025 season: Week six

Live coverage features live text of the weekend matchups on various channels, starting with the Broncos-Jets clash at Tottenham (kicking off at 2 PM BST). Also, radio commentary can be heard on select stations for a separate game (beginning at 9 PM BST).

We're in the sixth week of the football calendar and after last week's talk about two top teams as possible championship contenders, each surrendered their unbeaten records.

Notable during those contests was the number of infractions both conceded. The Eagles did so at crucial times so they essentially beat themselves having led 17-3 going into the fourth period against Denver, who play overseas this Sunday.

But it proved positive to see that Denver's QB the rookie managed to overcome that deficit before lead three scoring drives on three possessions in the fourth quarter, securing the game by four points.

The Broncos boast the top defender with cornerback their star corner. They rank number one in goal-line defense, while the Eagles lead the league in scoring near the end zone, and the Broncos prevailed in that contest.

They executed effective strategies regarding disguised blitzes. They weren't necessarily rushing more than four defenders instead they could plug two LBs in the interior then drop them out and dispatch a slot defender off the edge.

At the start of the season, it was noted on a program that the Broncos could be this season's surprise contenders. They finished the previous year strongly and excelled of building upon that.

New TE their tight end has excelled significantly and recent RB JK Dobbins is a player they believe in. He now ranks 5th in the NFL for rushing yards (402) as well as tied-fourth in rushing scores (four).

I love that head coach the Broncos' leader displays "RUN IT!" at the top on his call sheet.

That shows that Denver are a squad that wants to run first, because you can achieve much based on that approach. It slows opposing rushes while keeps you in positive situations.

This has benefited quarterback Bo Nix, who entered into the league as a first-round selection in the prior draft, throwing 29 touchdown passes – second only to Justin Herbert for the rookie record (31 in 2020).

Josh Allen and Herbert possess the arm strength to pass all over, but they don't move the mobility as Nix. He boasts incredible passing ability, a unique trait, and he's highly agile.

His strengths are his mobility, being able to pass while moving, and finding different arm angles to deliver throws as he moves outside protection, the bootlegs. He is able to throw that layered pass over the middle or over the corner.

As a rookie QB, at 25, he displays great composure in the pocket and isn't really fazed by extra rushers. He tries to avoid a sack whenever possible and can throw under pressure. He possesses sharp intelligence and is quick to decide.

If you constantly run the ball it consumes time and forces the defence to be in play for longer, and when you've got a mobile QB the defence has to cover the area vertically and horizontally. This proves exhausting.

The quarterback has pushed back with the coach during games sometimes and I think the coach appreciates that fire, seeing him as such a competitor. In my view it's fun for him to coach a young quarterback that is kind of like moldable clay. The coach can truly develop him the way he desires to shape him. I believe it's a unique opportunity for the coach.

The head coach owns a championship and has surpassed a legend in all-time victories (173 - tied 14th overall). He's seen it all. In my opinion the achievements the Broncos are having on offence is largely due to his guidance, his play-calling, his game sense – and the pairing with Nix helps shape him into who he is.

There's no better a more qualified person guiding you, to assist you through difficult moments and build self-belief.

I have faith in the Broncos' defense, in the QB's grit and calm. Yet are they strong enough to go against an elite team at its best? Since that wasn't championship-level play from Philadelphia last Sunday.

Currently, I don't think the Broncos are incredible. They're working better than most, that's a good place to hold the AFC West. All they need to do is maintain this path.

They're really good at leaning into their strength, which is running the ball, and that's exactly what they must do versus the Jets at Tottenham. It will likely be the JK Dobbins show, in essence.

New York have surrendered 140 yards on the ground each contest (among the worst), five rushing touchdowns this season (in the bottom ten), and they're the sole squad yet to win a game.

Since the NFL began tracking turnovers decades ago, this team are also the inaugural squad to be without a single takeaway in five outings, this is surprising considering that their new coach Aaron Glenn defensive co-ordinator with another team.

Following the upcoming matchup, the Broncos have a smooth-ish schedule up to their break (in week twelve) - the Giants, the Cowboys, Houston Texans and Las Vegas Raiders before the Kansas City Chiefs.

Looking at their division, Kansas City hold a losing record while Denver are even with the Chargers on 3-2 meaning they could challenge for the top of the division.

This hinges upon which form of the Chiefs they face because the Broncos {beat|def
