Jets vs Broncos — Sun 12 Oct 2025, 2:30 pm BST (Tottenham Hotspur Stadium)
Last week was the starter. This is the main. It’s London, baby — mojo up, volume on.
Tottenham, round two. Seven days after Minnesota nicked Cleveland at the death, London gets a fresh punch-up: the New York Jets (home) host the Denver Broncos in the capital’s second straight NFL Sunday. Kickoff: 2:30 pm BST (breakfast football in the U.S. at 9:30 a.m. ET). If last week was the appetiser, this is the platter: big market, big noise, and two teams with something to prove on a fast, purpose-built NFL surface.
Broadcast & vibe. UK: Channel 5 (free-to-air) and Sky Sports NFL. U.S.: NFL Network. The Jets are the designated home team and are leaning into it — flags, chants, alumni on the mic. Expect a green wall of noise.
Storylines. Jets’ press-man swagger vs a rookie QB who thrives on rhythm and movement. Special teams have swung London games all month; operation times on kicks matter. Hidden yards (flags, punts) will decide field position on a neutral deck.
UK plan: kettle at 14:00, wall open all day. RedZone anchors the 18:00 window; late slate 21:05/21:25.
