Sarah Thomas will become the first women to ever officiate an NFL playoff game when she steps onto a field on Jan. 13.
According to the NFL officiating blog, Thomas earned her first on-field postseason assignment, making her the first woman to do so. In 2018, Thomas was chosen as an alternate for one game but never made it to the field.
