OUR
STORY
Every team has a history. Every team has a rival. Every team has a fanbase. We have all of them. The story of The Bye didn't begin in 1990. It began in 1960. When professional football first introduced league-wide bye weeks, The Bye made its first appearance on the schedule. A name without a club. A presence without a home. For decades, teams prepared for us. Fans talked about us. Every season included us. But we were never permanent.
Then came 1990. The year The Bye became a permanent fixture of professional football. No longer an occasional visitor. No longer a scheduling necessity. A constant. A tradition. A part of every season. Since then, every franchise has faced us. Every fan has heard our name. Every schedule has carried our story. Today, The Bye steps onto the field.
