Why didn't the queen take the rook here?

This is from move 133 in the game between Carlsen and Nepo in 2021 championship. Can someone please explain why black queen didn't take white rook and instead moved to g6?

After 133...Qxf5, Carlsen can go 134. Ng7+ and fork the king and queen, winning the endgame
