Jeopardy's Slipping Standards

So, I'm watching Jeopardy while making dinner. The Final Jeopardy category is "NFL Geography." The question is (I'm paraphrasing) "which state with 2 NFL teams is the only one touched by the Mississippi River?" Nobody got it right (neither did I - the answer is Missouri (the Chiefs and Rams)), but the defending champion's answer/question was "Florida." He thinks the Mississippi River runs through Florida. He should have to return all his winnings for that bad of an answer in Final Jeopardy (he did lose this game).
