Help understanding what is going on here.

I recently played a game, and in viewing the analysis, I'm more confused than anything.

21. exf6 is listed as the best move despite leading to a M7.  Nc6 however, is also listed as best when I was trying to figure out what is going on.  I'm just confused.  During the game, I decided to play Rfd8 because I felt taking my knight wouldn't cause an issue for me.  I didn't see the M7 by taking the knight.  I just knew with two rooks and the bishops the king was in trouble.  I'm just at a loss with the analysis and would love any insight as to what is happening.  Thanks!

It does not matter. At move 21 white is losing any way.
