As the NFL carries out Week 5, some teams will take off, meaning they won’t play due to a bye week. Each team has one bye week per season, with no byes in Week 8 or Week 12.
The bye week period this year kicks off with four teams not playing — the Cleveland Browns, Los Angeles Chargers, Seattle Seahawks and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Week 14 is the final week that includes byes, with the Arizona Cardinals and Washington Commanders off.
