It is one of the weekend's most anticipated matchups: Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones vs. Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman.

After all, a year after defeating the Seahawks in the NFC Divisional Game at the Georgia Dome, Jones declared Arizona Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson a tougher matchup than Sherman.

"Because for me, he follows me everywhere. Sherman every now and then. He usually plays the right side," Jones told CBS Sports' Pete Prisco in a discussion about the league's best cornerbacks.

Here's a look at the Jones and Sherman this season:

Jones tops the league in catches of 20 yards or longer (10) and second in the league in catches 40 yards or longer (4). With his performance against the Panthers in Week 4, Jones became the sixth player in history to record a 300-yard receiving game.

Here's what more to look for on Sunday:
