I could see why having your prime years split between three different teams hurts; especially before free agency.

Super Bowl Era means '66 and on? 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.
