What Teams Have A Bye This Week In The NFL?

Wondering what teams have a bye this week in the NFL? Check out our latest blog post for a full list of the bye week schedule.

Introduction

The National Football League (NFL) is a professional American football league consisting of 32 teams, divided equally between the National Football Conference (NFC) and the American Football Conference (AFC).

During the NFL’s regular season, each team plays 16 games. Based on standings from the previous season, each team is then assigned a position in one of the NFL’s eight divisions: North, South, East, West, Central, Northeast, Southeast, or West. Each division winner earns a playoff berth.

The NFL playoffs are a single-elimination tournament held after the conclusion of the regular season to determine the NFL champion. Six teams from each conference (four division winners and two wild card teams) advance to the playoffs. The playoff bracket is seeded so that the division winner with the best record faces the wild card team with the worst record while the division winner with the worst record faces the wild card team with best record. In each round of the tournament, teams compete in a single-elimination game until only one team remains. The remaining team is crowned as champion and earns the right to play in Super Bowl Sunday, which is considered one of America’s biggest television events.

So far this season, there have been four teams that have had byes: Green Bay Packers (Week 5), Indianapolis Colts (Week 6), New Orleans Saints (Week 7), and Pittsburgh Steelers (Week 8). This week, in Week 9 of the NFL season, there are no teams with byes.
