The first couple weeks of the 2024 NFL season have seen all 32 teams in action.
But not every upcoming week will be as action-packed.
That's because each team's schedule includes one week without a game called a bye week. The bye provides teams an opportunity to reset and refresh amid the grueling 17-game regular season.
