There are 256 NFL games played over a period of 17 weeks in a regular season. Each team plays 16 games and is given a bye week where they are not playing. This bye week is drawn randomly at the start of each season.
In 1990, the NFL re-introduced a bye week to the schedule, which it had not had since 1966. Each team played sixteen regular season games over seventeen weeks. During the season, on a rotating basis, each team would have the weekend off. As a result, opening weekend was moved up to Labor Day weekend.
