Watson — despite being far from perfect — was too far ahead in the two-game match to be caught. It beat Jennings and fellow “Jeopardy!” champion Brad Rutter, earning $41,413 for the day and $77,147 for the two-game total.

Jennings, who led for a good portion of the second game before succumbing to a late string of correct Watson answers, ended the game ($19,200) and match ($24,000) in second place.
