Because the networks get to protect games from being flexed, otherwise SNF would always be the best game and you'd be pissing off your other broadcast partners. Only week 18 cannot be protected. I suppose what is odd is that CBS didn't protect Dolphins-Chargers since that looked like a potential good game for a while, although I suppose the rationale is Mahomes is the league's biggest star so if you're going to lose a game to a flex, then getting Mahomes softens the blow.
