NFL Marks First Game Ever With Female Referee & Female Coaches On Both Sidelines

Sunday’s week three game between the Washington Football Team and the Cleveland Browns would have been forgotten to time if it weren’t for a special milestone that marked the game. This contest was the first time in NFL history that both teams had a female coach on the sidelines and there was a female referee working the game.

On the right is Callie Brownson, the chief of staff for Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski, and the left is Jennifer King in her first season on Ron Rivera’s coaching staff in Washington. In the middle is Sarah Thomas, who became the league’s first female official in 2015.

“On his Twitter account before the game, Rivera celebrated the milestone saying, As I am doing my final pregame prep a sense of pride has come to me. I can’t help but think of the historic significance of today. Very happy for all the women involved in our @nfl game & very proud of @JenniferKing5 #GameChanger”
