the Week of 10/26/2020 - 1101/202
The Cardinals are undefeated versus the NFL Byes:
The NFL Byes have been around since 1960.
After that season there was expansion
and in 1966 the NFL Byes were back.
The American Football conference had two
byes during the 1966-1967 seasons.
The Miami Dolphins caused this as
the expansion team during those seasons
1990 The NFL Byes returned
Television dictated this move
with a 17 week format.
1993 season There were two bye weeks
with an 18 week schedule.
1999 Cleveland came into the league again
as the Browns came back from the grave.
Every team had a bye week and 9/11/2001
No NFL TEAMS PLAYED. The Houston Texans
came into being in 2002 and then the NFL had 32 teams.
Since 2002
By then, The league had each conference with 16 teams.
Bias is not a part of The NFL Bye Structure, Revenue is
Biding its time: THE NFL can extend byes to generate TV Contracts
Bilateral agreements have been set up for the Covid crisis
as this is probably the biggest Season for NFL Byes to come through.
By now, you get where I am going, which is nowhere as that basically
takes us to the usual Bye week.
Some players such as DeAndre Hopkins and Larry Fitzgerald
for example often have bye practices. That is where they go bye bye
while other players toil in the sweat and soil of the practice field.
