'Jeopardy!' Contestants Struggle with NFL Category

Like everyone else, sports fans want to feel smart. Nothing does the trick quite like watching a Jeopardy! contestant bungle a sports question.

The ABC game show featured the category "NFL teams by Hall of Famer" on Monday night. In the above clip, none of the three participants could correctly identify the squads of "Mean" Joe Greene and Marcus Allen, who respectively represent the Pittsburgh Steelers and Los Angeles Raiders in Canton, Ohio.  

One contestant guessed Allen was from the Colorado Rockies, who have yet to send a player to the Hall of Fame. Also, they play baseball.

To avid football viewers, these questions are easy. Then again, that's one of their areas of expertise. They might not fare as well in geography or science.
