Can someone explain why there isn't a game on Fox in the late window? (alien.top)

Whatever rerun the network is showing could never see the numbers that even the least exciting game could hit this week.

Why do fox and cbs sometimes just not show games?

Because NBC pays a lot of money for Sunday Night Football and wants two huge markets.

NFL coverage rules are weird. That's the simplest explanation.

That's what's in the contracts. There's no one looking at a schedule each week and saying, "We'll go with a noon game, and NCIS reruns instead of a late game."
