Aaron Rodgers can now add "Celebrity Jeopardy!" winner to his lengthy list of accomplishments.

The NFL's reigning Most Valuable Player appeared on the show Tuesday evening and earned $50,000 for his charity of choice, the MACC (Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer) Fund.

Rodgers defeated Kevin O'Leary (investor on "Shark Tank") and retired astronaut Mark Kelly. Rodgers trailed Kelly after the opening round, but the Green Bay Packers quarterback led an impressive second-half comeback by dominating Double Jeopardy.

Heading into Final Jeopardy, Rodgers ($12,800) was ahead of Kelly ($8,600) and O'Leary ($1,000). Though Rodgers didn't get the final question correct (Who is "Harley" and "Davidson"?), neither did the other two contestants.

There were plenty of categories with nods to Rodgers, including "Leader of the Pack," "Number 12" and "Bible MVPs." However, none of the questions were about football.
