NFL's First All-Black, Three-Woman Officiating Crew Makes History

The Chargers-Raiders game marked a significant milestone in the NFL's diversity and inclusion efforts.

Thursday Night Football's Chargers-Raiders game marked the first time an all-Black officiating crew worked both on the field and in the replay booth.
Three women also officiated the game, another first for the NFL, with one on the field and two in the replay booth.
Maia Chaka served as the line judge, Artenzia Young-Seigler as the replay official, and Desiree Abrams as the replay assistant.
Referee Ronald Torbert, who began as an NFL official in 2010, led the historic crew.
The NFL has been increasing its diversity and inclusion efforts, with a majority of club personnel now made up of people of color and/or women.
