Tennessee Titans safety Kenny Vaccaro is no stranger to the opponent the Titans face this week in Nashville, Tennessee.
A short time ago, he played for the New Orleans Saints, who he was with for five seasons.
Of course facing a team he used to be on the roster of feels kind of bizarre in a sense, but Vaccaro isn’t focused on that.
“I really have truly been focused on week to week, but now that it’s here is it like, ‘Oh, wow, we are playing the Saints,’” Vaccaro said on Wednesday. “But I approach it kind of like the way Logan (Ryan) did when we played the Patriots last year. I am not going to make this about me and playing my former team at all, because it is not about that really – it is about us staying in this playoff race.”

Vaccaro and the defense will be up against a hot Drew Brees, who completed 29-of-30 passes on Monday against the Indianapolis Colts, breaking Peyton Manning’s NFL record for most touchdown passes (541).
Vaccaro has been also been performing at a high level lately, though, posting six tackles and momentum-shifting interception in the end-zone in the 24-21 loss.
He’ll surely be a factor as the Titans take on the Saints at 12 p.m. CST on Sunday in Nissan Stadium.
