Why to watch
Drew Brees, on pace to shatter the mark for yardage in a season, faces one of the toughest secondaries in the NFL. New Orleans is as hot as any team in the league other than the Packers. The Titans, meanwhile, need to keep winning to remain in the playoff hunt.
Inside story
Chris Johnson is back, in peak form and killing defenses on the edge. Expect a fair amount of run blitzes from the Saints, buoyed by the return of LB Jonathan Vilma. Matt Hasselbeck has been slowing some for the Titans after a fast start.
