Seems it may very well be a slow rolling game if the flags will be flying frequently. Make sure the kids get to bed at a reasonable time as this game may go past midnight (EST). Though statistics shows he/his team are about average on number of penalties.

Tony Corrente will work as the referee for Sunday’s Patriots-Colts game in Indianapolis, according toFootballZebras.com.
This is the first New England game of the year for Corrente. He worked two Patriots games last season, including a September clash with the Vikings where New England was whistled for 15 penalties, a season-high for the Patriots.
The 63-year-old Corrente, who survived a bout with throat cancer in 2011, has an impressive resume. In all, he’s been involved in 13 playoff contests, including three conference championships. He’s served as the alternate referee in Super Bowl XL and as lead referee in Super Bowl XLI.
