Aaron Rodgers is filling in as a guest host for Jeopardy for a period of two weeks, and the superstar quarterback for the Green Bay Packers didn't have the welcoming he thought he'd receive. During his debut as the host, Rodgers was trolled by a contestant who poked fun at how the Packers season ended.
In the final round of Jeopardy! , instead of attempting to get the question right, they would ask Rodgers a question pertaining to how the Packers lost in the playoffs. The contestant decided to ask Rodgers who made the ultimate decision to kick the late-game field goal that remains a questionable decision months later.
During the NFC Championship Game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Packers were faced with a fourth-down-and-goal with an eight-point deficit against Tom Brady. While most people would put the ball in Rodgers' hands and attempt to get a touchdown, Matt LaFleur elected to kick a field goal.
The Packers wouldn't get the ball back and the Buccaneers would advance to the Super Bowl by the score of 31-26. It marked the second consecutive season, where Green Bay was one game short of making the Super Bowl. LaFleur has since admitted that he needed to make a better decision in that situation.
Even though the decision cost him a chance to secure another Lombardi trophy, Rodgers handled the question from the contestant well. It's safe to say that Rodgers isn't done answering questions about the fateful decision that unfolded for the Packers in the NFC Championship Game though.
