Call them the Cleveland Browns of football trivia.
The official Twitter account for the show Jeopardy on Thursday after the game show players failed to answer a single question about football.
“I can tell you guys are big football fans,” Trebek remarked sarcastically after the three contestants did not know what an option play was.
After missing the second question — on Tom Landry — Trebek asked the players if they just wanted to go straight to a commercial break, despite having three clues left on the board.
Meanwhile, the audience’s laughter could be heard as the contestants stood there silent.
When the final question — pertaining to the Minnesota Vikings’ famed “Purple People Eaters” — was read, Trebek delivered his best one-liner of the segment.
“If you guys ring in and get this one, I will die,” Trebek said as the audience erupted into laughter.
