Only one of the 90 answers in Wednesday’s episode of “Celebrity Jeopardy!” had to do with football and — wouldn’t you know it? — an NFL Network host got it right.

Peter Schrager, who is on the “Good Morning Football” panel as well as working on Fox Sports’ NFL coverage, finished second behind actress Mira Sorvino in the prime-time episode. Actor Adam Rodriguez was third.

It was a tight battle between Schrager and Sorvino throughout the game, and Schrager got one clue in his wheelhouse. He was uniquely qualified to come up with the question to this answer worth $1,000 in the “Oh, Brother!” category:

“These NFL siblings made history in 2023 by becoming the first brothers to compete against each other in the Super Bowl.”

Schrager correctly asked: “Who are the Kelce brothers?”

Yep, it was the Chiefs and tight end Travis Kelce who defeated the Philadelphia Eagles and Jason Kelce in Super Bowl LVII.

Host Ken Jennings said it this way: “Jason and Travis Kelce. Yeah, we did have a little football for you.”

Travis Kelce is everywhere these days thanks to his success on the field, work in commercials and his main squeeze, singer Taylor Swift.
