Thanksgiving is a different deal as Fox, CBS and NBC have a game that day. So is week 1 where NBC gets the first game of the year. All the other weeks are part of the TNF package.
TNF was created in part so there could be a third Thanksgiving game. NBC then asked for the night game and the NFL created the rest of the package and put it to bid. If you think about it, if the NFL bid out the entire package and allowed every week to be shown on that network, there would be no reason for NFL Network to exist.
