METAIRIE, La. -- New Orleans Saints linebackers coach Joe Vitt played some defense of his own outside of his Metairie home on Saturday morning, chasing away a man and woman that were attempting to steal his car and a neighbor's car.
Vitt's efforts took a toll, though. The 61-year-old coach suffered a torn Achilles and broken wrist after falling, Saints spokesman Greg Bensel confirmed.
Bensel added that Vitt "never missed a day of work."
