As Week 6 of the NFL season approaches, the storylines continue to intensify. With one-third of the season already in the books, teams like the New York Jets, Baltimore Ravens, and Kansas City Chiefs are still searching for answers, while Baker Mayfield is continuing to prove himself as one of the most impressive quarterbacks this year.
Here are five things to keep an eye on heading into Week 6:
Jets Head to London Winless
The New York Jets are the NFL’s last remaining winless team, and they’re heading to London to face the Denver Broncos. Coach Aaron Glenn’s first year at the helm has not gone according to plan. His Jets are making history for all the wrong reasons—they are the first team in league history to start 0-5 without forcing a single turnover. In an age where forcing at least one takeaway in five games feels almost automatic, the Jets have somehow avoided it.
As they prepare to take on a Broncos team that just secured its biggest win of the season—ending the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles’ 10-game winning streak—New York is already a more-than-a-touchdown underdog. If the Broncos manage to score 21 or more points on Sunday, the Jets could be looking at their sixth straight loss. Quarterback Justin Fields, who is starting for New York, has never won when his opponent scores 21 points or more, with an 0-26 career record in such situations.
Kickoff from London is at 9:30 a.m. ET on Sunday.
Baker Mayfield’s Hot Start: Will He Keep It Going?
No quarterback has been playing hotter than Baker Mayfield this season. While the likes of Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, and Lamar Jackson have all had solid performances, Mayfield has been consistently delivering at a level that’s caught everyone’s attention.
Will his impressive run continue into Week 6? Keep an eye on how the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ leader performs against a tough test this week. If Mayfield can keep up his momentum, he may be solidifying his place among the league’s top quarterbacks early this season.

Mahomes and the Chiefs: A Crucial October Ahead
Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are looking to bounce back after a heart-wrenching last-minute loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Sitting at 2-3, Mahomes emphasized the urgency, stating, “We’ve already lost too many games.” The Chiefs will spend the rest of October at home, hosting the Detroit Lions, Las Vegas Raiders, and Washington Commanders. With a tough stretch ahead, including a Sunday Night Football clash with the 4-1 Lions, Kansas City can’t afford more slip-ups if they want to stay in the playoff race.
Baltimore’s Struggles: Can the Ravens Turn It Around?
No fanbase has been hit harder by disappointment than Baltimore’s. After a crushing loss to the Houston Texans, the Ravens now sit at 1-4, and their playoff hopes are hanging by a thread. Lamar Jackson’s status for this week’s game against the Rams is uncertain, and with injuries mounting, Baltimore could head into their bye week with a dismal 1-5 record. However, the AFC North has been underwhelming, and the Ravens still hold the best odds to win the division, highlighting just how unpredictable the race is.
