How long is an NFL season?

An NFL regular season consists of 17 games for each team, played over 18 weeks. This schedule allows for one bye week per team. The Jaguars' third consecutive win and the Eagles' three-match losing streak are significant milestones within this relatively short, intense season, impacting their playoff chances.
