2024 Week 10 — Packers Bye Week

Week 10 of the NFL season brings us to the Green Bay Packers’ bye. Not a big fan of the bye week, but I know the players love any chance to “get healthy,” or a little bit healthier since by the season’s halfway point everybody could be on the injury list in some way. So, Sunday is a day that you can get out there in the yard and take care of those leaves, or perhaps watch some football that is not stressful. Below are the TV maps for Week 10, showing which games will be on in your area:


More on NFL Bye Weeks

Each NFL team has one "bye week" during a normal season; this is placed on the team's schedule, usually falling between Week 4 and Week 12 inclusive.

During the 1960 and 1966 seasons, the league had an odd number of teams due to expansion. Each week during those seasons, one team had a bye, including one team each in the first and last week of the season: thus, because they had to play all their games with no break in the middle, those two teams effectively had no byes. The American Football League (which at the time was a completely separate league, but later became the American Football Conference) also had an odd number of teams in 1966 and 1967 following the addition of the Miami Dolphins, leaving each team with two bye weeks.

The NFL returned to the use of the bye week in 1990 so as to extend the 16-game regular season schedule to span 17 weeks to increase the number of viewable games for television contracts. The 1993 season spanned 18 weeks with each team having two bye weeks; it went back to 17 weeks with a bye week the next season through 2020. Since 2021, the season is 18 weeks long with a bye week and an additional 17th game.

Between 1999 and 2001, the NFL had an odd number of teams (31) as a result of the Cleveland Browns re-entering the league. Each week during these three seasons featured at least one team with its bye week, but the 2001 season also added an additional impromptu league-wide bye the weekend after the September 11 attacks. The league returned to having an even number of teams (32) in 2002 with the addition of the Houston Texans, and implemented the current bye week system.

In the rare case of a game postponement that cannot be made up within the same week, the NFL may revise bye weeks assignments in order to reschedule the delayed game, making the postponement week those teams' new “bye week”:

• Due to Hurricane Ike in 2008, the Baltimore Ravens' and the Houston Texans' Week 2 matchup in Houston was postponed, which also impacted the Cincinnati Bengals' schedule. The Bengals-Texans game was moved to Week 8, which was the originally scheduled bye week for both of those teams. This allowed the Ravens–Texans game (and the Bengals' bye week) to be rescheduled in Week 10, the Ravens' original bye Week.

• Due to Hurricane Irma in 2017, the Miami Dolphins and Tampa Bay Buccaneers Week 1 game was rescheduled to Week 11, the originally scheduled bye week for both teams.

• Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, several postponements occurred during 2020. The first one that saw the league move games during bye weeks involved the Week 4 matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Tennessee Titans, which also impacted the Baltimore Ravens' schedule. The Steelers-Titans game was moved to Week 7 (the Titans' original bye week) due to a rash of COVID-19 cases among the Titans organization. The Steelers matchup with the Ravens (their original Week 7 opponent) was moved to Week 8 when they both had scheduled byes and would allow the Steelers and Titans to make up their matchup; the Ravens bye week was moved to Week 7. Ravens head coach John Harbaugh, when asked about the schedule change, referenced the aforementioned changes with the Texans and Bengals in 2008 (his first year as Ravens head coach) and did not expect the changes to affect his team's planning. 

• The media may also sarcastically refer to a team having a “bye week” or a " “second bye” if that team is playing an especially poor team, and is all but assured of a win.

• Ever since the NFL started Thursday Night Football, teams who play on a Thursday night are sometimes referred to having a “mini-bye” until their next game, usually being about 10-11 days away.

2024 Week 9 — Lions at Packers

Two of NFC’s hottest teams face off as North-leading Lions visit Green Bay

Detroit (6-1) at Green Bay (6-2)

Day/Time/TV: Sunday, 3:25 p.m. CDT, FOX.
Series record: Packers lead 106-76-7
Last meeting: Packers beat the Lions 29-22 in Detroit in a Thanksgiving Day game on Nov. 23, 2023.
Last week: Lions beat the Tennessee Titans 52-14 at home; Packers won 30-27 at Jacksonville
Lions offense: overall (6), rush (6), pass (11), scoring (1)

Lions defense: overall (20), rush (5), pass (27), scoring (8)
Packers defense: overall (15), rush (10), pass (19), scoring (11T)
Turnover differential: Lions +10; Packers +7

The Detroit Lions have a big-time offense. The Green Bay Packers specialize in taking the ball away. The NFL’s highest-scoring offense and the league leader in takeaways will face off Sunday when the NFC North-leading Lions (6-1) visit the Packers (6-2). The game features the NFC’s two hottest teams, as the Lions have reeled off five consecutive victories while the Packers have won four straight. “It’s going to be a playoff-type game,” Packers running back Josh Jacobs said.

The Packers enter this game with an uncertain quarterback situation. Jordan Love left the Packers’ 30-27 victory at Jacksonville on Sunday in the third quarter with a groin strain and is listed as questionable for this game. He didn’t practice Wednesday but worked out on a limited basis Thursday and Friday. Backup quarterback Malik Willis has started two games in Love’s place this season, and the Packers won both games. He also threw a 51-yard completion to Jayden Reed in Jacksonville that led to Brandon McManus’ tiebreaking field goal as time expired. “I think we have a pretty good idea of what we’re going to get no matter who’s in there,” Lions coach Dan Campbell said. “And they’re both very good athletes. They both can run. They both can create issues in the pocket.”

Green Bay may need to score plenty to keep up with the Lions, who are averaging 33.4 points per game this season. They have averaged 43 points over their past four games. The Lions have been tough to slow down on offense because they are versatile, and offensive coordinator Ben Johnson is adept at making in-game changes. “Nobody corrects better than us,” tight end Sam LaPorta said Johnson tells the team. “Nobody adjusts better than us.”

Detroit’s high-scoring attack has the Lions off to their fastest start since 1956, when they won seven of their first eight games. That offense will have to be careful against the Packers, who have a league-high 19 takeaways. Green Bay’s Xavier McKinney has a league-leading six interceptions and seven total takeaways, as he also has recovered a fumble.

Turnover talk

Although the Packers have the most takeaways in the league, the Lions have the better turnover margin. Detroit’s plus-10 turnover differential puts the Lions in a tie for second in the league, behind only Buffalo’s plus-11. The Lions have committed just five turnovers this season, while the Packers have 12. Detroit’s Kerby Joseph has five interceptions to rank second in the league, behind only McKinney. Detroit’s Brian Branch is tied for third with four interceptions.

Secondary concerns

Green Bay’s secondary could be at less than full strength as it tries containing the Lions. Safety Evan Williams won’t play due to a hamstring injury. Cornerback Jaire Alexander, who hurt his knee late in the Jaguars game, didn’t practice all week and is listed as questionable. Detroit won’t have wide receiver Jameson Williams, who is completing his two-game suspension for violating the NFL’s performance-enhancing substance policy.

On the run

The Lions averaged 175.5 yards rushing in their two games against the Packers last season and are running effectively again with the tandem of Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery. Gibbs has rushed for 591 yards and six touchdowns, while Montgomery has run for 415 yards and seven touchdowns. Montgomery rushed for 121 yards and three touchdowns to help the Lions win 34-20 in their previous trip to Green Bay. The Packers actually are gaining slightly more rushing yards per game than the Lions: 156.9-156.7. Jacobs has rushed for 667 yards to rank fourth in the league.

Stepping up

Detroit has several players on injured reserve and keeps winning. The Lions had two players filling in for defensive end Aidan Hutchinson and linebacker Derrick Barnes on a key play early in last week’s rout against Tennessee. Defensive end Levi Onwuzurike hit Titans quarterback Mason Rudolph as he passed, and linebacker Trevor Nowaske took advantage of the ill-advised throw with an interception. “They know that they’re not just there to be a placeholder,” Campbell said.

Clutch kickers

McManus has been with the Packers for just two games and has kicked a game-winning field goal in the final play of both. He made a 45-yarder as time expired in a 24-22 victory over the Houston Texans and had a tiebreaking 24-yarder to end the Jaguars game. Detroit’s Jake Bates is a perfect 11 of 11 on field-goal attempts this season. He’s 27 of 28 on extra points.

Lions player to watch

S Kerby Joseph. He has career-high five INTs after he had four in each of his first two seasons. Joseph, a third-round pick from Illinois, is the first Lion to have five INTs in the first seven games of a season since Hall of Famer Yale Lary in 1962. He has three INTs in three games against Green Bay.

Packers player to wat

S Xavier McKinney grabbed his NFL-leading sixth INT of the season against Jacksonville. He’s the first Packer ever to have six INTs in the first eight games of a season. McKinney also has recovered a fumble this year, giving him an NFL-leading seven total takeaways.

Key matchup

Lions RBs Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery vs. Packers run defense: The Lions averaged 175.5 yards rushing in two games with the Packers last season. David Montgomery ran for 121 yards and three touchdowns to lead a 211-yard rushing attack in the Lions’ 34-20 victory at Green Bay. When the Packers won the rematch in Detroit, the Lions still ran for 140 yards on 31 attempts. Green Bay’s run defense has improved this year. But the Packers still have been vulnerable at times, allowing Philadelphia’s Saquon Barkley, Indianapolis’ Jonathan Taylor, the Los Angeles Rams’ Kyren Williams and Houston’s Joe Mixon to surpass 100 yards.

Key injuries

Detroit LB Malcolm Rodriguez (ankle) left last week’s game and may be the only player whose status is in doubt Sunday… Packers QB Jordan Love’s status is uncertain after a strained groin caused him to leave the Jaguars game… The list of Packers who didn’t practice Wednesday because of injuries included Love, RB Josh Jacobs (ankle), CB Jaire Alexander (knee), LG Elgton Jenkins (glute), C Josh Myers (wrist), LT Rasheed Walker (knee) and S Evan Williams (hamstring).

Friday Injury Report:

DETROIT LIONS at GREEN BAY PACKERS — DETROIT: OUT: DT Brodric Martin (knee), DL Josh Paschal (illness), LB Malcolm Rodriguez (ankle). DOUBTFUL: RB Sione Vaki (knee), DL Mekhi Wingo (ankle). FULL: T Taylor Decker (chest), G Graham Glasgow (NIR/rest), QB Jared Goff (ankle), DL Levi Onwuzurike (NIR/rest), C Frank Ragnow (NIR/rest), DL D.J. Reader (NIR/rest), G Kevin Zeitler (NIR/rest). GREEN BAY: OUT: S Evan Williams (hamstring). DOUBTFUL: C/G Josh Myers (wrist), QUESTIONABLE: CB Jaire Alexander (knee), LIMITED: CB Corey Ballentine (ankle), DL Kenny Clark (toe/shoulder), RB Josh Jacobs (ankle), G/T Elgton Jenkins (glute), QB Jordan Love (groin), T Rasheed Walker (knee), DL Devonte Wyatt (ankle). FULL: LB Quay Walker (concussion).

Series notes

The Packers’ Thanksgiving Day victory at Detroit last season snapped the Lions’ four-game winning streak in this series. The Packers had beaten the Lions five straight times before that… The Lions have won in each of their past two visits to Lambeau Field. That included a 20-16 victory in the 2022 regular-season finale that prevented the Packers from reaching the playoffs and marked four-time MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ final game with Green Bay.

Stats and stuff

The Lions are 6-1 for the first time since 1956, when they won seven of their first eight games… Detroit has won five games in a row for the first time since 2016 and is a victory away from its longest streak in a season since winning the last seven games of the 1995 season… The Lions have run for 100-plus yards and scored a rushing TD in each of the first seven games for the first time since 1936… Detroit has scored a franchise-record 162 points over a four-game span, the most by an NFL team since Baltimore had 172 points over four games in 2019… The Lions have 30-plus points with four TDs in four straight games for the first time since 1971… The Lions have more TDs on offense (24) than incompletions (19) in their past five games… Detroit’s 52 points last week trailed only the franchise-record 55 it scored against Chicago in 1997… The Lions tied a team record with six players scoring a TD against the Titans… etroit has won two games by 38-plus points for the first time in a season since 1936… The Lions have a takeaway in 11 straight games, going back to last season, and have an INT in their first seven games for the first time since 1981… If Goff throws for 2-plus TDs and has a passer rating of at least 110, he will join Patrick Mahomes (2018), Tom Brady (2010) and Aaron Rodgers (2011) as the four NFL QBs since 2000 to have those numbers in six straight games… The Packers have 1,255 yards rushing, their highest total through the first eight games of the season since 1971. Jacobs leads the way with 667 yards rushing, which ranks fourth in the NFL… When Love left the Jaguars game without having thrown a TD pass, it ended his string of nine straight games with multiple TD passes. That streak would have gone to 11 if playoff games were included… Packers TE Tucker Kraft has five TDs over his past five games… Packers K Brandon McManus has kicked a game-winning field goal in the final play of each of his two games since coming to Green Bay. He had a 45-yarder in a 24-22 victory over the Houston Texans and a 24-yarder against the Jaguars, his former team… The Packers have an NFL-leading 19 takeaways… According to Elias Sports Bureau, this marks the first time since a 10-3 Green Bay team faced a 12-1 Denver squad in Dec. 8, 1996, that Lambeau Field has hosted a game in the ninth week of the season or later matching two teams with a winning percentage of at least .750.

Series record: Packers lead 5-2.
Last meeting: Packers beat the Jaguars 24-20 in Green Bay on Nov. 15, 2020.

Turnover differential: Packers plus-6; Jaguars minus-4.

Packers player to watch

Since returning from a one-game suspension that followed his absence from two practices, WR Romeo Doubs has emerged as one of Jordan Love’s most reliable options. Doubs scored two touchdowns in a 34-13 victory over Arizona and followed that up by having eight catches for 94 yards against the Texans.

Jaguars player to watch

Tank Bigsby had a career-high 118 yards rushing and two touchdowns against New England last week and is tied for second in the NFL at 6.2 yards a carry. He trails Baltimore’s Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson. Even if he returns to a backup role, the Jaguars plan to get him plenty of touches moving forward.

Key matchup

Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. versus one of the NFL’s best secondaries. Thomas leads all rookies with 513 yards receiving and already has emerged as one of the most explosive deep threats in team history. The first-round pick from LSU has four receptions longer than 30 yards, including three that gained 58, 66 and 85. The Packers have the secondary to slow him down, beginning with veteran CB Jaire Alexander and including the league’s top safety tandem, Xavier McKinney and Evan Williams.

Key injuries

Packers: DL Devonte Wyatt (ankle) has missed Green Bay’s past three games but practiced on a limited basis this week. LB Quay Walker is working his way through the NFL’s concussion protocol… Jaguars: LB Foye Oluokun (foot), who led the NFL in solo tackles the past two seasons, is expected to be activated off injured reserve. S Andrew Wingard (knee) might be another week away. RB Travis Etienne (hamstring) could return after missing most of the past two games. LT Cam Robinson (concussion) is his working his way through league protocols.

Series notes

Neither team has topped 28 points in their previous seven meetings… The Packers have won three in a row in the series, with the past two decided by four points… The Jaguars have one win against Green Bay in Jacksonville, in 2008. The Jags sealed that 20-16 victory by intercepting Aaron Rodgers in the final minute.

Stats and stuff

Love has thrown multiple TD passes in nine straight games, the third-longest streak in Packers history. Aaron Rodgers threw multiple TD passes in 13 consecutive games in 2011, and Brett Favre did it in 12 straight in 1994-95… Although he missed two games with a knee injury, Love has thrown 15 TD passes this season, which matches Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson for the second most in the league. Tampa Bay’s Baker Mayfield has 18. Love also has eight interceptions to match Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes and Las Vegas’ Gardner Minshew for the league’s most… The previous time the Packers played in Jacksonville, they lost 38-3 to the New Orleans Saints in their 2021 season opener. The game was moved to Jacksonville because of Hurricane Ida… Packers K Brandon McManus, who played for the Jaguars last season, joined his new team last week and made a game-winning, 45-yard field goal as time expired… The Packers have an NFL-leading 17 takeaways. McKinney intercepted a pass in each of Green Bay’s first five games. McKinney’s six total takeaways — he also has a fumble recovery — are tops in the league… Packers RB Josh Jacobs has 540 yards rushing to rank fourth in the league… Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence has two TD passes in three of his past four games… Tank Bigsby is one of three RBs — along with Saquon Barkley and Derrick Henry — with 100-plus yards and two rushing TDs this season… TE Evan Engram has at least four receptions in 11 consecutive home games… DE Josh Hines-Allen has a sacks in three straight home games… LB Devin Lloyd led the team with season-high 11 tackles, including a sack, last week but could be the odd man out when Oloukun returns. That’s because second-year pro Ventrell Miller has played so well during Oloukun’s absence.

Texans player to watch

DE Will Anderson Jr. had his best game of the season last week against the Patriots to earn AFC Defensive Player of the Week honors. Last year’s AP Defensive Rookie of the Year had eight tackles, three sacks and four tackles for losses — all career highs. Anderson also deflected a pass that was intercepted in the fourth quarter Sunday. He has 12½ sacks through his first 21 games which ranks second in franchise history in that span behind J.J. Watt, who had 13 in 2011.

Packers player to watch

QB Jordan Love has thrown 12 touchdown passes in his four starts this season, and he has thrown for four scores in each of his past two home games. Although he’s thrown six interceptions already this year, he was picked off only once against the Cardinals, and that came when intended receiver Bo Melton slipped on a route.

Key matchup

Texans passing game vs. Packers secondary. C.J. Stroud threw touchdown passes to three different players (Stefon Diggs, Tank Dell and Joe Mixon) against New England. Diggs’ arrival this season adds to the array of playmakers Stroud has alongside him. He’s going to be matching up against a ball-hawking secondary that has picked off nine passes this season. Green Bay’s Xavier McKinney had an interception in each of the Packers’ first five games.

Key injuries

Texans LB Azeez Al-Shaair is likely to be out against Green Bay after injuring his knee last week… Texans LT Laremy Tunsil aggravated an ankle injury he has been dealing with for a couple of weeks against the Patriots but should play Sunday… Texans LB Henry To’oTo’o is in the concussion protocol after taking a hit to the head against New England… Texans CB Kamari Lassiter is expected to miss a second straight game with a shoulder injury… Packers DL Devonte Wyatt (ankle) has missed two games and wasn’t practicing early this week… Packers LG Elgton Jenkins (knee) and DL Colby Wooden (knee) didn’t practice Wednesday… Packers WR Dontayvion Wicks (shoulder) left the Cardinals game but was practicing on a limited basis Wednesday.

Saturday Injury Report

Texans

Out: WR Robert Woods (foot), LB Azeez Al-Shaair (knee), LB Henry To'oTo'o (concussion), CB Kamari Lassiter (shoulder), S Jimmie Ward (groin)
QUESTIONABLE: WR Steven Sims (back), DT Foley Fatukasi (shoulder)

Packers

Out: DT Devonte Wyatt (ankle)
Questionable: WR Dontayvion Wicks (shoulder), DL Colby Wooden (knee)

Series notes

The Packers have won their past three meetings with the Texans and have averaged 32.7 points in those games. That streak started when Aaron Rodgers tied a franchise single-game record by throwing six touchdown passes — three to Jordy Nelson — in a 42-24 victory in 2012… The Texans’ lone victory over the Packers was a 24-21 decision at Lambeau Field in 2008, with Kris Brown making a 40-yard field goal as time expired.

Stats and stuff

The Texans need a victory for their first four-game winning streak since reeling off nine straight wins in 2018… Texans RB Joe Mixon had 102 yards rushing with a scoring run and a TD reception against New England in his return after missing three games with an ankle injury… Texans RB Dameon Pierce had a season-best 76 yards rushing with a touchdown last week after missing four games with a hamstring injury… Diggs had six receptions for 77 yards and a touchdown against the Patriots for his fourth straight game with at least 65 yards receiving. He had 108 yards receiving and a touchdown in his most recent game against Green Bay in 2022 with Buffalo. He has nine TD receptions in 10 games against the Packers… Texans TE Dalton Schultz had a touchdown reception in his previous game against Green Bay in 2022 with Dallas… Texans DE Danielle Hunter had a sack and his first forced fumble of the season against the Patriots. He forced two fumbles and had a sack in his previous game at Green Bay in 2023 with Minnesota… Texans S Calen Bullock had an interception and his first career fumble recovery against New England. He’s the only rookie with two interceptions this season… The Packers are 10-2 against AFC teams at home during Matt LaFleur’s six-year coaching tenure… The Packers have 1,003 yards rushing this season. That’s their highest total through the first six games of a season since 1963, when they had 1,041… The Packers rank second in the NFL with 55 explosive plays and the Texans are third with 54. An explosive play is defined as a run of 12-plus yards or a pass of 16-plus yards. The Baltimore Ravens have a league-high 59… The Packers have a league-high 17 takeaways… Love’s 12 TD passes put him in a tie for second place in the league, behind the 15 of Tampa Bay’s Baker Mayfield. Love ranks that high despite missing two games with a knee injury… McKinney has a league-leading five interceptions… Packers WR Romeo Doubs had his first two touchdown catches of the season against Arizona after serving a one-game suspension. The suspension came after he missed two practices leading up to Green Bay’s 24-19 victory over the Los Angeles Rams.
