METAIRIE, La. -- Kenny Vaccaro said Monday that he still never got an explanation for why he was benched during Sunday’s 36-20 loss to the New England Patriots.

At the same time, Vaccaro appreciates that neither he nor the Saints defense as a whole has played well enough this year to prevent such coaching decisions.

The Saints (0-2) are on pace to shatter some of their own unwanted NFL records with 512.5 yards allowed per game, three TD passes allowed per game and an opponents’ passer rating of an astonishing 141.
