Preview

The second of three games to be played in London in the NFL will kick off the Sunday action in Week 6.

When the six teams were announced for the London games it was something of a disappointment and the New York Jets (0-5) have been as poor as some feared. They have had a couple of competitive losses in the early tenure of Head Coach Aaron Glenn, but the last couple of defeats to the Miami Dolphins and Dallas Cowboys have been really bad and the team are already on course to finish with the Number 1 Pick in the next NFL Draft as the only one that has yet to win a game this season.

The hope for the Jets is that they can produce better playing outside of the United States, but they were beaten at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium by the Minnesota Vikings in 2024.

This year they are facing the Denver Broncos (3-2) who are heading to London after upsetting the defending Champions Philadelphia Eagles on the road. With Divisional rivals Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers both losing in Week 5, the Broncos are tied for the best record in the AFC West and they have been set as significant favourites.

Denver are expected to be a well balanced team when they have the ball- the Offensive Line have been key in helping JK Dobbins establish the run and they will have seen the successes that the Dolphins and Cowboys have had when pounding the rock against the New York Jets Defensive Line. Head Coach Sean Payton is always keen to establish the run and the Broncos should be in a position to make Bo Nix's life pretty comfortable when the young Quarter Back is stepping back to throw the ball.

Respect has to be given to some of the personnel that the Jets have on the Defensive unit, but they have had a tough time in the Secondary with the team trying to send more men to the Line of Scrimmage to try and stop the run. The Denver Broncos have a good Receiving corps to find spaces down the field and that should mean Bo Nix is able to make plenty of plays with his arm, especially with what is going to be mainly a clean pocket from which to throw.

In what has been a tough season, one of the positives has to be the way the Jets have been able to run the ball with dual-threat Quarter Back Justin Fields and Breece Hall both performing well on the ground. However, this Broncos Defensive Line have prided themselves on being able to locate runners very quickly and it may be one of the tougher days for the Jets.

Justin Fields will try and extend plays where he can, but his Offensive Line have offered very little time as they have struggled to stop the pass rush. This is an area that the Broncos are expected to have a huge edge and rushing Fields could lead to stalled drives, although credit has to be given to the Quarter Back for not throwing into troubled spots.

However, trying to make plays with the pocket collapsing and pass rushers swiping at the ball can lead to Fumbles and the Broncos should win the turnover battle.

Any extra possessions could see Denver pull clear of the New York Jets- the latter have only lost two of the five games by more than 6 points, but the Jets have simply not seen a Defensive unit as good as the one they are facing in London.

Backing up big wins is not always easy, but the Denver Broncos should have the balance Offensively to do what they like for much of the afternoon.
