The NFL returns to London in Week 6 as the Denver Broncos (3-2) face the New York Jets (0-5) at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday, October 12. It’s an intriguing international matchup between two teams trending in opposite directions. For Denver, the stakes are high as head coach Sean Payton’s squad looks to prove that its stunning comeback against the Philadelphia Eagles wasn’t a fluke.
How big was that improbable win over Philadelphia? Huge. Trailing 17-3 in the second half, Denver rallied behind a composed Bo Nix and a tenacious defense to steal a 21-17 victory. The comeback not only moved the Broncos to 3-2. It also tied them atop the division standings. Now, they’ll look to build on that momentum against a Jets team that has been outclassed and outscored in nearly every phase of the game through five weeks.
If there’s ever a matchup that seems to favor Denver’s style of play, it’s this one. The Jets’ offense has been among the NFL’s least efficient. They are averaging just 15.2 points per game and surrendering 19 sacks over five contests. Quarterback Justin Fields has flashed moments of productivity but continues to struggle with protection breakdowns. That’s bad news against a Denver defense that just bottled up the Eagles’ high-powered attack. The Broncos also rank among the league’s top units against the run (88.4 rushing yards allowed per game).
Meanwhile, cornerback Patrick Surtain II remains one of the NFL’s premier shutdown defenders. That gives the Broncos a significant advantage against New York’s top receiver Garrett Wilson. If Surtain limits Wilson’s impact, the Jets’ passing game could sputter again. That would force them to lean heavily on Breece Hall. He has been the only consistent offensive threat so far.
This London clash presents Denver with a golden opportunity to not just to win, but to win convincingly. After clawing back against elite opponents, a statement victory over the struggling Jets could signal that this Broncos team is for real.

Here we will look at and discuss some bold predictions for the game between the Broncos and the Jets in Week 6 of the 2025 NFL season.
If there’s one player capable of breaking Denver’s defensive dominance, it’s Hall. The Jets’ running back has been a bright spot in an otherwise dismal season. He posted 113 rushing yards and 42 receiving yards in last week’s 37-22 loss to Dallas. Though he briefly left that game after a red-zone fumble, he returned with authority. He ripped off multiple chunk plays and nearly scored late in the fourth quarter.
Hall is still searching for his first touchdown of 2025, though. That drought could finally end in London. The Broncos defense has been stout but not flawless. Recall that they surrendered a 47-yard receiving touchdown to Saquon Barkley last week. Expect the Jets offense to lean on creative...
