Spokane-Arizona has been as good as rivalries get in the Arena Football League since 2010. The latest installment comes tonight at the Arena, but it’s maybe not so much Spokane vs. Arizona as Spokane vs. Spokane.

Spokane-Arizona has been as good as rivalries get in the Arena Football League since 2010.

Depending on whom you ask, Spokane’s showdown Saturday with Arizona is a monster game, just another game, or somewhere in between. The two rivals are coming off a bye week. Spokane (8-7) went into the break in a better mood, thumping L.A. 64-46 while Arizona suffered its first loss, a 62-33 setback at San Jose.

Spokane picked up another road win over the L.A. Kiss and this time Shock quarterback Erik Meyer was able to enjoy it to the end.

Spokane Shock quarterback Erik Meyer was voted AFL MVP for Week 15 of the 2014 Arena Football League season. Meyer (Eastern Washington) tossed three touchdown passes and rushed for three more in Spokane’s 70-30 victory over the San Antonio Talons on Friday. In his first start since suffering a shoulder injury on May 4, the 6-foot-2 Meyer returned to break his own single-season franchise record for rushing scores by recording his 16th of the year last week.

Jimmy Williams makes it a point to say thanks to Shock offensive lineman Ryan Cave nearly every day. Andy Olson, too. And that was long before Williams made his debut with the Spokane Shock last week.

The Spokane Shock needed a pick-me-up. They got it with quarterback Erik Meyer’s return to the starting lineup and a visit from the struggling San Antonio Talons. Meyer accounted for six touchdowns and the Shock cruised to a 70-30 Arena Football League victory in front of an announced crowd of 8,489 Friday at the Arena.
