So some people don't watch football so what? It's not like those were common knowledge things about the sport.

Well I think the fair catch rule should be pretty basic. Also maybe offsetting penalties.

But yeah, the rest of them I wouldn't blame a non-football-fan to get. Hell, I'd bet a lot of modern football fans wouldn't have gotten the two history questions either.

Probably because football is pretty useless overall and has the worst fans.

What? Besides the thousand dollar question and Landry question I'd say 99% of people I know get all of those. Including Landry 75%, including the 1000 probably 50% but several were very common knowledge.

We're talking about Jeopardy contestants whose prized skill is a broad range of trivia knowledge. It'd be amusing for any category to go completely unanswered (tbh, I'm not sure I've ever seen it happen like that before).

Jeopardy clues are notorious for being a mile wide but an inch deep. Other than the purple people eaters, the clues were pretty straightforward. An educated guess probably could have got you the answer.

Also, Jeopardy questions are often worded in ways that clue in people who may not know the specific fact being referenced: the first clue, where the answer is "option" begins with "your choice: do - or don't..." Likewise for the offsetting and fair catch clues.
