A note about Monday’s show: an audio issue with one of the clues erroneously left the impression that our contestants could not recognize the highly recognizable Tom Hanks. We apologize for the misunderstanding.

In 2020, at the end of his final year at Pitt, Damar Hamlin organized a toy drive for kids in his hometown of McKees Rocks, Pa. This is the young man who went down on the field tonight in Cincinnati. He is a man; not a number on a jersey. Prayers for Damar.
