Japan agrees to ‘comfort women’ talks: minister

December 30, 2012: Adrian Peterson runs for 199 yards, just nine yards shy of what he needs to break Eric Dickerson’s single-season record. But if they play like they did against Arizona, anybody would beat them. Cardinals coach Bruce Arians isn’t about to let up, seeing this as another opportunity for his well-balanced team to assert its authority in the NFC. “It’s one of those deals where as soon as you see him starting to scramble out, you’ve got to find your guy”. Unless he throws for 400 yards on Sunday, his yardage total (currently 3,530) will be his lowest in a full season.

Will Sunday see a changing of the guard in a division the Packers have dominated for the last four seasons? His squad was 2-5 at home and lost to all three then, NFL Central opponents Minnesota, Chicago and Detroit. Michael Floyd probably would have given Arizona a third 1,000-yard receiver had he not dislocated three fingers in training camp and gotten off to a slow start. Michael Floyd, who has five 100-yard receiving games in his last seven games, had 7-113-2 at Seattle in Week 10 and caught the game victor at Seattle last season.
Rookie running back David Johnson is a threat as a receiver as well as a rusher. In his last nine games, Floyd has 43 receptions for 729 yards and six TDs.
