I remember the playoff structure at one time was best of three for round 1, best of five for round 2 and then best of seven for rounds 3 and 4. Later evolved to best of five in round 1 and seven for the rest.
I know '89 was 4 best of sevens, but I think 86 was a best of five vs the Jets in round 1.
