Ways these Broncos and the 'play-dough' quarterback can halt the Chiefs' rule.

NFL 2025 season: Week six

Live coverage features text commentary of the weekend matchups via various channels, beginning with the Broncos-Jets clash at Tottenham (kicking off at 2 PM BST). Also, radio commentary is available on designated networks for a separate game (from 21:00 BST).

It's week six of the NFL season and following recent discussion regarding two top teams being possible championship contenders, each lost their perfect starts.

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

However it proved positive to see that Denver's QB Bo Nix managed to overcome that deficit before direct three successful possessions on three possessions during the final period, securing the game 21-17.

The Broncos have the top defender with cornerback their star corner. They are number one in goal-line defense, whereas the Eagles lead the league in scoring near the end zone, yet the Broncos prevailed in that contest.

They had the Eagles' number in terms of disguised blitzes. They weren't necessarily sending extra defenders but they could position two linebackers in the 'A' gap then withdrawing them and dispatch a slot defender from the outside.

Early on of the season, we said on a program how the Broncos could be the current year's surprise contenders. They ended the previous year well and did a good job of building upon that.

New tight end Evan Engram has stepped up significantly while recent running back their rusher is a guy they believe in. He's currently 5th in the NFL for rushing yards (402) and tied-fourth in rushing scores (4).

I love how the coach Sean Payton displays "RUN IT!" at the top on his call sheet.

This demonstrates how Denver are a team that wants to prioritize the run, since you can do a lot based on that approach. It slows down the pass rush and keeps you in favourable down and distances.

This has helped quarterback Bo Nix, who came the NFL as a first-round selection in the prior draft, throwing 29 TDs – just behind Justin Herbert for the rookie record (31 back in 2020).

Other elite QBs possess the arm strength to throw all over, but they don't move the mobility as Nix. He has incredible arm talent, a unique trait, plus he's highly agile.

His strengths include his movement, the capacity to throw on the run, as well as finding different arm angles to make throws when he rolls outside protection, the bootlegs. He is able to throw precision throws across the middle or past defenders.

As a rookie QB, at 25, he's got great composure in the pocket and isn't bothered by the blitz. He tries to evade a sack whenever possible and is able pass under pressure. He possesses a high football IQ and is quick to decide.

If you constantly rush it eats up time and makes the defence to stay in play extended periods, and when you have an athletic quarterback the defense must cover the field vertically side to side. This proves draining.

Nix has pushed back with the coach during games at times and it seems the coach appreciates that fire, that he's a fierce rival. In my view it's fun for him to coach a young quarterback who's kind of like moldable clay. The coach can really develop him how he wants to shape him. I believe it's a special experience for him.

The head coach has won a championship and has surpassed a legend for career NFL wins (173, tying for 14th). He has witnessed it all. I think the success the Broncos are experiencing offensively is mostly due to his leadership, his play-calling, his situational awareness – and the pairing with the QB helps make him what he is.

There's no better a better guy in your ear, to help you during difficult moments and boost confidence.

I believe in Denver's defence, in Bo Nix's tenacity and composure. But is the team good enough to face a top squad at full strength? Because that wasn't a Super Bowl performance by the Eagles in their last game.

Currently, I don't think Denver are elite. They're working above average, that's a solid position to hold their division. All they need to do to continue this path.

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

The Jets have surrendered 140 rushing yards per game (among the worst), five rushing touchdowns this season (in the bottom ten), and they are the sole squad without a win any game.

Ever since the NFL began tracking turnovers decades ago, the Jets are the first team to go without any turnovers in five outings, this is kind of shocking when you think that their new coach was previously defensive co-ordinator with another team.

After the upcoming matchup, Denver face a manageable slate up to their break (in week twelve) - the Giants, Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans and the Raiders before the Chiefs.

In their division, the Chiefs are 2-3 and the Broncos are tied with the Los Angeles Chargers at 3-2 so they could make a run for the top of the West.

This hinges on which form Kansas City shows up they meet because the Broncos {beat|def
