I assume there's some specific wording in the question, but... why isn't Norm Standlee the answer to this question too? He had four touchdowns in the 1941 NFL postseason. Granted, two of the touchdowns came in a divisional playoff game that came about only because the Bears and Packers were tied for the division lead at the end of the regular season (as opposed to a game that was preplanned before the season began.) But based on the wording of the two questions, I'd expect the differentiation to be a player scoring four touchdowns in the AAFC postseason or AFL postseason
Hey, you're right!
When I saw Standlee as the answer to the first question above, I assumed he'd done his four-touchdown trick in the AAFC in 1949. It never occurred to me that 1941 could have been the year. Imagine that -- he edged out Dave Osborn by almost three decades!
