Kenny Vaccaro knew what questions were coming on Wednesday, and he had a prop ready for his answers.

After the New Orleans Saints had a strong defensive showing for the third consecutive game, Vaccaro knew the media would start to hype up the group that had looked terrible the first two games.

One reporter even asked Vaccaro, a fifth-year safety, if he's playing some of the best football he ever has.

"Don't make me get my gas mask out," he said. "Just in case y'all gas me up, I brought the gas mask."

Then, Vaccaro grabbed the costume gas mask from his locker that cornerback Sterling Moore gave to him this week.
