What NFL teams have a bye in week 12?

A busy Week 11 in the NFL season saw lots of twists and turns: another loss for the Cowboys who continue to spiral, the Bills beating the Chiefs and Pedersen now on the brink all had us on the edge of our seats.

And the action doesn’t stop there, with Week 12 hurtling down the road towards us with more elite American Football. For six teams, however, next week will be slightly calmer, as the ‘bye week’ comes in their calendars, meaning the action is paused and they get a much-deserved rest and recuperation.

NFL bye weeks have been a part of the NFL every season since 1990. All 32 teams in the country play continuous games for the opening four weeks and final two weeks of the season, but between Week 5 and Week 13 teams rotate bye weeks, with none on Week 8 or 13.

Who has a bye week in Week 12 of the NFL?

Here are the six teams who have a bye in Week 12: Atlanta Falcons, Buffalo Bills, Cincinnati Bengals, Jacksonville Jaguars, New Orleans Saints and New York Jets.
