I thought AFC teams only play on FOX when they are playing a home game against a NFC team

Long term contract extension (2014–2022)[edit]
On December 14, 2011, the NFL, along with Fox, NBC and CBS, and ESPN announced that the league had extended rights deal with all three networks through the 2022 season. The three-network rights deal includes the continued yearly rotation of the Super Bowl between Fox, NBC and CBS, meaning that Fox would air Super Bowls XLVIII (2014), LI (2017), LIV (2020), and LVII (2023).[17] The 2013 season marked Fox's 20th season of NFL coverage.
Under the terms of the new contract, which began with the 2014 season, the flexible scheduling rule started in 2006 was modified. In order to ensure both Fox and CBS would feature all 32 NFL teams at least once during the season, the league reserves the right to "cross-flex" the games to the other network, to ensure both networks would have a minimum of five games weekly, with a minimum of one game in each slot. The cross-flex rule also permits the NFL to change networks for Week 17 games in order to guarantee all four games (both networks air a doubleheader in Week 17) have playoff importance and gives each network an equally important primary game in each time slot. Thus, while Fox still mainly airs games in which both teams are NFC members and games in which the road team is from the NFC, Fox began occasionally airing games between two AFC teams and games in which the road team is an AFC franchise. However, Fox will still air significantly fewer of these games than CBS, because of the fact that that network owns an additional contract to air games on Thursdays. Fox's first interconference game involving an AFC road opponent was actually a special situation in 2011 between the Denver Broncos and Minnesota Vikings. The league generally wants both CBS and Fox to air three games in the early kickoff slot and Fox only had two scheduled games that week. The first game between two AFC teams that was sent to Fox using cross-flex aired in Week 6 of the 2014 season, between the Buffalo Bills and the New England Patriots.

Yeah. The jets always play on CBS and the giants on fox. Last week they didn't and I figured it had something to do with the giants playing an afc team and the jets playing an NFC team. Today the jets played a divisional game and it was still on fox. The quality was almost as bad as this pats/falcons game

OP if you're talking about the picture quality that's because fox broadcast in 720p while CBS and NBC are in 1080i
