What happened: Joe Burrow and Josh Allen have completed their scheduled bye weeks for the 2026 NFL regular season. Both quarterbacks enter the remainder of the calendar with an uninterrupted run of games through the finish. The schedule milestone leaves both passing attacks available for every remaining regular-season matchup.
Why it matters: Having bye weeks completed provides offensive continuity down the stretch of the AFC playoff race. Neither squad faces an upcoming scheduled week off while jockeying for conference seeding and division positioning. The finished rest periods also stabilize weekly offensive game-planning over the final two months.
By the numbers: Burrow has completed 219 of 296 passes for 2,386 yards, 23 touchdowns, and six interceptions through eight games in 2026.
What to watch: Both quarterbacks prepare for full-season workloads as the AFC postseason picture intensifies heading into the winter stretch.
