No matter the score between the Los Angeles Chargers<\/a> and Las Vegas Raiders<\/a> on \u201cThursday Night Football,\u201d the matchup will be historic. Referee Ronald Torbert spearheaded the first all-Black on-field and replay crew to officiate a game.
Also a first: the three women working the game on the same crew, with one on the field and two in the replay booth. Maia Chaka is the line judge, Artenzia Young-Seigler is the replay official and Desiree Abrams is the replay assistant.

The NFL<\/a> has upped its diversity and inclusion efforts over the years, and the \u201cThursday Night Football\u201d game was another first after the league announced last week that a majority of club personnel \u2014 51 percent \u2014 is made up of people of color and\/or women<\/a> for the first time in league history. There are also five full-time Black team presidents and nine full-time Black general managers.
History. \ud83d\udc4f
Tonight, the first ever all-Black on-field and replay crew will officiate the game. It also will be the first time that three women will be on the same crew. #InspireChange<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/KBBwOaQDs0<\/a>
