Jets returning to London for Broncos clash — one year after UK loss threw season into a tailspin

The Jets are returning to London, hoping that crossing the ocean doesn’t inject turbulence into their season yet again.

Jets-Broncos will be played on Oct. 12 in Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the NFL announced as part of Tuesday’s reveal of the full international slate in 2025.

The Jets are the “home” team for the 9:30 a.m. ET kickoff in Week 6.

Even without former quarterback Aaron Rodgers and offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett — Hackett was ripped by Broncos head coach Sean Payton in 2023 — there is plenty of intrigue in Jets-Broncos.

Payton is a mentor to new Jets head coach Aaron Glenn, who was an assistant under Payton with the Saints.

And new Jets general manager Darren Mougey helped build the Broncos’ roster as a top lieutenant.

One year ago, the Jets lost to the Vikings in London, and head coach Robert Saleh was fired shortly after returning home.

Owner Woody Johnson — a former United States ambassador to the United Kingdom — fired Saleh, and the decision threw the whole season into chaos rather than creating the desired spark.
