The Athletic has live coverage of NFL Week 6 action across the league.

The Denver Broncos are feeling themselves after knocking off the defending Super Bowl champions. The New York Jets are flailing, still trying to crack the seal for their first win of 2025. No matter the outcome of their Sunday matchup, both sides are at least guaranteed some fried haddock and a Spurs scarf.

The NFL has exported seven regular-season games to five different countries this year. Up next is a Week 6 jumpstart in London, where Bo Nix looks to keep cooking and Justin Fields attempts to break loose. Here’s what U.S. viewers need to know ahead of Sunday’s early kickoff.

The Broncos are making a statement

According to CBS, the Broncos’ broadcaster last Sunday, Denver was 1-112 when on the road and losing by 14 or more points in the fourth quarter. And after Sunday settled out, that record got updated with a second W. Pulling off that kind of comeback would be impressive no matter the circumstance. But it was extra wild against the Philadelphia Eagles, then-unbeaten toast of the NFC who hadn’t lost at home in more than a year.

Denver is 3-2 and could easily be 5-0 — its two losses came from walk-off field goals, and one of those kicks was a retry after a rare leverage penalty. Overall, though, this team has to feel good about its start. The Broncos have put up at least 20 points in all five games this season, one of just four teams to do so.

Nix has pieced together two strong passing efforts to shed early traces of a sophomore slump. It helps that J.K. Dobbins is barreling ahead with efficiency (5.2 yards per carry), and that Courtland Sutton regularly separates from his coverage.

The offense won’t have to do much if the defense keeps dominating, though. Vance Joseph’s side is No. 1 in red zone percentage (four TDs allowed in 14 trips). The pass rush is No. 1 with 21 sacks (Nik Bonitto has a league-leading seven). And Patrick Surtain II is still a supergenius at corner — last season’s Defensive Player of the Year dissuades quarterbacks from even looking in his direction.

The Jets are getting desperate

Aaron Glenn’s head-coaching career is off to the most ignominious of starts. His Jets are the first team in NFL history to begin a season 0-5 and with zero takeaways.

New York ranked No. 3 in total defense last season. This current group started the week at No. 22, with the second-worst scoring defense, and the promise of a Sauce Gardner-Quinnen Williams core now dims by the week. Defensive struggles are all connected, because football is beautifully intricate like that, but the secondary is a problem. Per TruMedia, almost 65 percent of opposing passes have gone for a first down or a touchdown — the franchise’s worst mark since at least 2000, when this stat was first tracked.

Neutral observers can at least enjoy the acrobatic Garrett Wilson. He made a filthy one-handed catch last Sunday, and a ridiculous jump-ball TD grab during Week 4’s “Monday Night Football” spot.

“He’s a generational player,” Fields, who also played with Wilson at Ohio State, told The Athletic’s Zack Rosenblatt. “I’ve been with him a long time, so nothing that he does surprises me whatsoever.”

The broadcast situation

All of the NFL’s European games are shown live on NFL Network for U.S. audiences. There’s a local over-the-air simulcast in the teams’ respective regions, meaning this Sunday’s matchup has in-market listings for Denver and New York. The significant time zone shift brings a 7:30 a.m. start to Colorado.

Rich Eisen is on play-by-play, and Hall of Fame QB Kurt Warner takes color commentary. Sara Walsh reports along the sidelines.

Gridiron football’s history in London

The NFL has been traveling to the U.K. for regular-season games since 2007, but the London Monarchs predated that engagement back in 1991. They were a part of NFL Europe, the developmental league probably best remembered stateside for its minuscule Madden ratings.

London’s first NFL showcase was won by Eli Manning’s New York Giants, who outlasted the Miami Dolphins 13-10. That game was televised throughout the U.K., but it was actually slotted as a regional Fox game in America. It was also aired at 1 p.m. ET for American viewers, compared to the current 9:30 a.m. shift. From 2007 through 2015, all London games were held at Wembley Stadium. Twickenham became the second stadium used in 2016, and Tottenham was added to the venue rotation in ’19.

The home of Premier League’s Spurs hosts two London looks each season. It was also the site of last week’s lean 21-17 action between the Minnesota Vikings and Cleveland Browns. That game moved tickets (more than 61,000 in attendance), but the process itself left much to be desired, as Ticketmaster malfunctions created gridlock at the gates.

What are the teams doing over there?

The Jets are taking over a bar near Buckingham Palace. Smash cut to … the most caricatured Gang Greeners ever imagined, chanting “J-E-T-S! Jets, Jets, Jets!” at The King’s Guard. New York’s team plane left for London on Monday. Under previous coach Robert Saleh, the Jets took off on a Thursday for last year’s Tottenham game.

Denver actually beat its opponents to the tarmac. The Broncos flew out Sunday night, right after their upset win in Philly, according to The Athletic’s Nick Kosmider.

“It’s going to be exactly like a practice week,” Sean Payton told reporters. “Exactly. We’re staying in the middle of nowhere, no sightseeing. It’s a normal work week. We get in Monday. We will run, lift, watch the tape.”

Payton has previously enjoyed success in the U.K. In 1988, he had a memorable stint as the quarterback for the Leicester Panthers, right before he began his coaching career. In Payton’s time in New Orleans, the Saints went 2-0 in London games.

This week, Payton’s players have mostly been preparing to face the Jets, though they did take a break during practice to meet Newcastle defender Dan Burn. Meanwhile, former Broncos like Steve Atwater and Bennie Fowler made the trip to promote flag football overseas and deliver state-of-the-art helmets to a local youth team.

On the other side, the Jets took a double-decker bus tour of London, and Gardner acquired a throwback Tottenham jersey.

Maybe he can give Spurs players a quick NFL lesson while he’s there.

Who is expected to win on Sunday?

The Broncos are, because they’ve been the far better football team through a month and change. Denver opened the week as a 7.5-point favorite on BetMGM. The scoring total is set at 43.5 points, a modest number but still higher than last Sunday’s line of 35.5.
