San Diego better keep an eye on Trey Arnold. He was instrumental in Mission Bay's win, throwing for 390 yards and seven TDs while completing 72.3% of his passes. Arnold is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for four or more in each of the last four games he's played.

Mission Bay didn't let much get past them through the air: they limited Hoover to a completion percentage of just 47.6%.
