Puzzle #167 answer: JOE NAMATH

Correct entries: 59

Shortest explanation: I underestimated the difficulty here. Another back-to-back Roman numeral puzzle. Take the four themers and extract Roman numerals, in left-to-right order:

LABEQUINOX = LIX

AXELORIGIN = XLII

EXPERTHIVE = XIV

XEROXFIXER = XXIX

Take the MVPs of those Super Bowls:

Jalen Hurts

Eli Manning

Terry Bradshaw

Steve Young

Their initial names spell JETS, signaling the MVP of the only Super Bowl the Jets have won to this day: JOE NAMATH. (Jets, after Super Bowl III: "We're going to be pretty good at this Super Bowl thing!")

This one should (really) be a Level 2. Trying to make February a bit less chaotic overall.

Good luck, and may all your solves be beautiful!
