Week 6’s London showdown between the Denver Broncos (3-2) and the New York Jets (0-5) features two squads headed opposite directions.
The Broncos are riding high after handing the Super Bowl LIX champion Philadelphia Eagles their first loss of the 2025 season in a 21-17 stunner in Philadelphia. Denver trailed 17-3 and then ripped off 18 consecutive points for just the franchise’s second road win ever when trailing by at least 14 points. Quarterback Bo Nix locked in during the final quarter, completing 9 of his 10 passes for 127 yards and a touchdown.

On the other hand, the Aaron Glenn-led Jets are still searching for their first win. In fact, Glenn is the first head coach to start his tenure 0-5 in team history. A critical reason for that is because Glenn’s is the first without a takeaway in the first five games of a season since at least 1940, per CBS Sports Research. That’s another reason why exactly half (56 of 112) of the Jets’ points have come when trailing by 13 or more points this season. It’s the most scored when trailing by at least 13 points by any team through five games in the play-by-play era, since 1991, according to CBS Sports Research. The Jets have plenty of work to do across the pond.

Broncos vs. Jets: Need to know
Can Broncos quarterback Bo Nix find consistency against the New York Jets defense?
Denver’s 3-2 record is representative of the topsy turvy nature of quarterback Bo Nix’s 2025 season: he’s thrown for eight touchdowns, tied for the ninth-most in the NFL, and committed five turnovers (four interceptions and one fumble lost), tied for the sixth-most in the NFL. His performance in the Broncos’ Week 5 victory at the Eagles was a microcosm of his inconsistency with Denver scoring just three points in the first three quarters before piling on 18 points in the fourth quarter.

Fortunately for the Broncos and Nix, the Jets have the second-weakest pass rush in the NFL with a quarterback pressure rate of only 26.4%. Only the Carolina Panthers with a 25.6% quarterback pressure rate are worse. That should give Nix plenty of time to play efficient, turnover free football.
Will the NFL’s leakiest offensive line (Jets) be able to hold up against the NFL’s best pass rush (Broncos)?
Jets quarterback Justin Fields is being protected by the worst offensive line in football: New York has allowed an NFL-worst 50% quarterback pressure rate and an NFL-worst 95 quarterback pressures. That’s tremendously bad news for Fields since he’ll be going up against Broncos edge rusher Nik Bonitto, who co-leads the NFL with 7.0 sacks along with New York Giants edge rusher Brian Burns, and a Denver pass rush that collectively leads the NFL in sacks (21) and quarterback pressures (89). This matchup between the Broncos defensive line and the Jets offensive line when Fields drops back to pass is the NFL equivalent of the hydrogen bomb vs. coughing baby meme.

Broncos vs. Jets prediction
Yes, Jets quarterback Justin Fields is off to a historic statistical start to his 2025 season as the first player in NFL history with at least 750 yards passing (754), 200 yards rushing (204) and no interceptions through four games played in a season. However, much of that is empty stats because half of New York’s points have been scored when trailing by at least 13 points. Fields has also never won a start (0-26) when an opponent scores at least 21 points because of his inability to prevail in an aerial fireworks show. With all the time Nix will have when dropping back to pass, Denver will surpass 21 points, which will allow its pass rush to eat en route to a multiscore victory.
Prediction: Broncos 24, Jets 10 | Broncos -7.5, Under 43.5

How Sprints could decide the F1 title battle
As if the climax of a tense battle for the 2025 Formula 1 title wasn't enough, three Sprint weekends across the final six rounds of the season are about to add more drama into the mix.Lando Norris has reduced his McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri's championship lead to 22 points, while Red Bull's Max Verstappen continues to lurk 63 points back from the Australian. While there's no doubt that Piastri has the upper hand, the 24 extra points available across 100km Saturday races in Austin, Sao Paulo and Qatar will undoubtedly heighten Norris' hopes of pulling off a comeback.A quirk of this year's schedule means that for the first time since the Belgian Grand Prix in July, the Sprint format returns this weekend at the United States Grand Prix in Texas and then alternates in and out for the remaining rounds […]
Arch Manning unfazed as Steve Sarkisian retools Texas offense amid mid-season roster shake-up
In the wake of two unexpected departures, Steve Sarkisian is recalibrating the strategy at Texas Longhorns. On Wednesday at the SEC coaches teleconference, he addressed the losses of sophomore running back Jerrick Gibson and senior kicker Will Stone, both of whom left the program after participating in four games this season and intend to preserve a year of eligibility by redshirting before entering the transfer portal. Sarkisian did not mince words. "They wanted to redshirt and transfer," he said, referencing Gibson and Stone's decisions.When pressed on how the team would compensate for those departures, he stated: "Who will take those carries is everybody, whether that's Tre, whether that's Christian, whether that's James, whether that's Cedric when he gets back. We've got ample bodies; we should be okay in that aspect."For Texas, this moment presents more than just a roster shake-up. With Arch Manning entrenched as […]
