Patriots face another also-ran QB

The New England Patriots' last-ranked defense is a very lucky group. New England's weakest unit has had the benefit of facing backup quarterbacks Tyler Palko and Vince Young in recent victories. This week, the Patriots get the backup of the backup in Dan Orlovsky of the Indianapolis Colts (0-11). With Peyton Manning and Kerry Collins out for the season and Curtis Painter benched, Orlovsky is the Colts' fourth option. New England's pass defense has been awful, but it won't matter this week .
