Based on recent history, this is a good week to be Kyle Orton. The Chicago quarterback will be facing his favorite opponent Sunday when Detroit arrives at Soldier Field.

In three previous starts against the Lions, Orton is 3-0 with a 105.5 passer rating. That includes a career-high 334-yard performance earlier this month in Detroit. In his other 23 NFL starts, Orton is 13-9 with a 67.3 rating.

Here are the particulars:

Opponent	Games	Record	Comp.	Att.	Pct.	Yards	TDs	INTs	Rating

Rest of NFL	23	13-9	321	592	54.2	3,302	18	19	67.3

And the Lions haven't exactly improved their pass defense in the three games since Orton's career day against them. Check out the performances of the ensuing starters:
