Cris Collinsworth has been sliding into our living rooms every Sunday night during the NFL season for years now and all that time in the booth with Al Michaels led to a big moment for the former wide receiver as he was the answer to a clue on Jeopardy on Thursday night’s show.
But then things got a little awkward when none of the contestants knew the answer to what would be an easy question for just about all football fans.
Collinsworth tweeted about the moment, saying it was “humbling” that nobody knew his name.
I mean, check out this question:

Now here's a guy who should have been an easy answer on jeopardy, but for some reason the folks on there must not have been alive for the past few years or they don't follow the sport at all.
