Former NFL running back Rashad Jennings would probably like a re-do after missing a puzzle on a recent “Celebrity Wheel of Fortune.”

Jennings had tallied $4,050 in spins and then went again for $600 and only needed to guess the letter “q” to complete the puzzle “Driving to Reno with Quentin Tarantino.” The category was “rhyme time.”

Jennings went with “p.”

“No, no. I’m sorry,” Pat Sajak had to inform Jennings. The correct answer would have been Oscar-winning director Quentin Tarantino.

“Wheel” watchers took to social media to comment on Jennings and his gaffe.

“The way he says P has me crying laughing, he knew it was wrong and he was about to get flamed,” one Twitter user wrote.

Jennings played in the NFL for seven seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Oakland Raiders, and New York Giants.
