Alabama visits Georgia this weekend, and two of their finest NFL products happen to be the two best receivers in the pros right now. They were competing in the 1 p.m. ET slot for the No. 1 title today.
As of right now, former Tide wideout Julio Jones and Georgia receiver A.J. Green lead their respective conferences in receiving yards this week.
Former Tide wideout Julio Jones finished with 12 catches, 164 yards and two touchdowns in a 39-28 win over the Cowboys. Quarterback Matt Ryan targeted him a whopping 20 times in 36 total pass attempts.
After the game, Cowboys coach Jason Garrett called Jones “a damn good football player.”
Meanwhile, A.J. Green was a nightmare for the Ravens as he usually is. He racked up 10 catches, 227 yards and two touchdowns of his own, including this 80-yarder where he made three Ravens look silly in the process.

With 2:10 left in the 4th quarter, Green added this pretty 7-yard score in what proved to be the go-ahead, game-winning score. At the end of the game, Ravens coach John Harbaugh told reporters, “One of these days we’ll figure out how to cover A.J. Green. It would be nice if we did that before he retires.”
