There are 256 NFL games played over a period of 17 weeks in a regular season. Each team plays 16 games and is given a bye week where they are not playing. This bye week is drawn randomly at the start of each season.
As others have said, the regular season total is up to 162. Often, teams will not make up a cancelled regular season game at the end of the season if it doesn't affect the standings; that's why some teams have 161 played at the end of the year.
