This the first season that Vaccaro has been able to participate in the NFL postseason and he is taking every advantage of the opportunity in hopes of getting his first Super Bowl Championship.
“Kenny played safety the way I envision safety being played. He threw his body around and got in there”-Mike Vrabel on Vacarro to Turron Davenport of ESPN.
On Sunday, the Titans head to Kansas City in hopes of playing spoiler as the underdogs on the road for the third straight week. The 2019 Tennessee Titans look to become just the third sixth seed to win the Super Bowl. In 2010, the Green Bay Packers won it after winning three straight road playoff games to make the Super Bowl. In 2005, the Pittsburgh Steelers became the first since 1990 to pull off the championship run.
On Sunday, two former Longhorns are looking to get to the Super Bowl. Alex Okafor won’t be playing in the game and Vaccaro will be looking to make his mark against the Chiefs.
