When Washington faces Cleveland on Sunday the NFL will enter a new world with women coaches on both teams, not to mention a woman referee.

For Washington Football Team head coach, the moment means a lot.

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

Rivera has been an active supporter of gender equity across the NFL, and Sunday's contest truly is historic.

This Sunday’s @WashingtonNFL vs. @Browns on @NFLonFOX will mark the first regular season game in @NFL history to have a female coach on both sidelines and a female official.

To all the girls/women who love 🏈 as much as we do, this is your game. #ifyoucanseeit #forwardprogress pic.twitter.com/HxoUUjMtJa
