Why were we on FOX today?

When I turned my TV on and put it on CBS at 1pm, I literally freaked out! FOX gets the NFC coverage and the away team gets the coverage. But, that should not matter because both teams were AFC anyway. I am stumped why it was on FOX. Any one know why?

Those rules changed this year. I'll try to find out the actual reason why.

The other part of this is that games can now be flexed between the two major NFL broadcast providers, FOX and CBS. According to NFL.com,

The "cross flex" mechanism will serve a similar purpose. Select games can be flexed between CBS and FOX. In the past, a game with two NFC teams had to be on FOX and a game with two AFC teams had to be on CBS. Now, the league can theoretically move an all-NFC game to CBS or an all-AFC game to FOX in select cases. This will help balance out the television schedule, especially in a week where one network has all the most intriguing games.
