Dub Jones of the 50's Browns....and Gale Sayers had 5 maybe 6 td's in a game? all that comes to mind? I got no clue if they had 2 and plus

Gale Sayers is right. In addition to the 6 TD game, he also had one more 4 TD game.

Only 18 other names to go.

I will make it easier for you all. The list includes these fairly unknown names:

Rick Casares, Marvin Jones; Frank Jackson; Abner Haynes , Clinton Portis, DeAngelo Williams, Sterling Sharpe, Wilbert Montgomery.

That leaves now just some bigger names.....including the guys that did it 3 or more times.

Was this one really that hard? (Only some of the biggest names in NFL history constitute some of the answers)

Graham, maybe Starr.

Graham, maybe Starr.

No, neither. Otto had 14 post season TDs. (Remember, they only played one single postseason game then. QBs since then have had to play in 3 , maybe 4 postseason games each year. Starr played half of his career under the same situation...and the Packers were really a grind it out running attack.

So: hint: think of some of the most prolific passing offenses in history.

If Moon didn't play in Canada or those years, he'd be on the list. Threw the nicest ball I've ever seen.

Yes. Maybe

Moon had a 3-7 lifetime playoff record with 17 touchdowns and 14 interceptions in the NFL.

That's pretty pedestrian.

For some reason I'm going to throw out Kurt Warner, but I just don't remember him playing in that many playoff games to get 30 touchdown passes...
