Does this constitute and obscure trivia question?

This team allowed 3 kickoff return touchdowns over the span of an entire decade...all three kickoff return TDs were scored by the same opposing player. Name the team, the decade and the player.

Yes that absolutely constutes an obscure trivia question! Good one. My first thought was Ollie Matson vs. the Steelers in the 1950s but nope. May dig further after the kids are in bed.

I have that as the answer....Matson vs. the 1950's Steelers. What other player(s) had kick return TDs vs. the Steelers? I didn't see any in the game logs.

When I change the search to list individual games the Steelers allowing a KO TD in the same span, it only lists the 3 Matson games. Hmmm

I found an error in the Neft-Cohen encyclopedia which I think was transferred over to PFR...it lists the 1952 Steelers as having given up 2 KR TDs, but they actually gave up 0.

Two of the HCs who I played for in my career are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

The very first HC whom I played for would go on to muster a career total W-L %age at just above-300.

The first 2 TDs that I'd throw in my second-last season would be in a game against the team that'd end up winning-it-all at season's end; and one of those were thrown to a former member of that very team. Later on that season, I'd throw my very last TD pass of my career at a team that'd host a conference championship game the following year; and that TD would be caught by someone who'd be on a World Champ the year after that!

Who am I?
