(TAMPA, Fla.) — Three women made history at Sunday’s Super Bowl, which saw a record number of women with on-field roles as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the Kansas City Chiefs in Tampa.
NFL referee Sarah Thomas made history as the first woman to officiate a Super Bowl.
She earned praise from first lady Jill Biden and others on social media who applauded her glass ceiling-shattering achievement.
With the Buccaneers’ 31-9 win over the Chiefs, Bucs’ assistant defensive line coach Lori Locust and assistant strength and conditioning coach Maral Javadifar made history as the first women to be on the coaching staff of a winning Super Bowl team.
Locust and Javadifar were led by Bucs head coach Bruce Arians, the oldest coach to ever win a Super Bowl at 68. He created the most diverse staff in the history of the NFL with three Black coordinators, a Black assistant head coach and two full-time coaches that are female.
The Buccaneers also have several women in leadership positions, including the team’s co-owner Darcie Glazer Kassewitz, who led the Bucs to become the first NFL team to establish a scholarship program benefiting female high school football players.
“There is a global shift that’s happening in sports and it’s amazing,” Javadifar told ABC News’ Kayna Whitworth ahead of the Super Bowl.
Javadifar, the daughter of Iranian immigrants, became a college basketball player who went on to earn a doctorate in physical therapy along with a degree in molecular biology.
Her expertise in body mechanics made her a perfect fit for the Buccaneers, with whom she is coaching her second season.
“We’re not just happy to be here,” she said of the Super Bowl berth. “We’re continuing to prepare to win.”
Locust, a mother of two sons, started playing semi-professional football at age 40 and then, sidelined with an injury, began coaching, working her way up from smaller football leagues to the NFL.
When she coached at the semi-pro level, she began attending coaching symposiums where she was the only woman in a room of 600 men.
In 2018, Locust served as a defensive line coaching intern for the Baltimore Ravens during the team’s training camp.
Locust — who has a nearly four-decade history with Arians, who coached Locust’s ex-husband at Temple University — is also in her second season coaching for the team.
“To me, if there’s going to be any influence, it would be women that are my age saying not what if, but why not,” Locust told Whitworth of her history-making Super Bowl role. “And really taking a second to find out what it is that they feel passionate about.”

(TAMPA, Fla.) — The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs 31-9 on Sunday to take home the Vince Lombardi trophy.
The win marked Tampa Bay’s first Super Bowl championship since 2002.

Brady, who signed with Tampa Bay this past March, was named the Super Bowl MVP for the fifth time in his NFL career.
Sunday marked the 43-year-old’s 10th appearance in a Super Bowl game and his seventh NFL championship.

(KANSAS CITY, Mo.) — Britt Reid, an assistant coach for the Kansas City Chiefs and the son of head coach Andy Reid, was involved in a serious crash Thursday night, according to police. Reid is being investigated for “impairment,” Kansas City police said.
Reid suffered non-life-threatening injuries, but two children in a car involved in the crash were seriously injured, including one with life-threatening injuries.
The 35-year-old is a linebackers coach for the Chiefs, who will play in the Super Bowl this Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
“The organization has been made aware of a multi-vehicle accident involving Outside Linebackers Coach, Britt Reid,” the Chiefs said in a statement. “We are in the process of gathering information, and we will have no further comment at this time. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone involved.”
The accident took place Thursday night at about 9 p.m. near the Chiefs’ practice facility at the Truman Sports Complex, according to police.
Reid hit a car that was assisting another that had run out of gas on the side of the road, causing a chain reaction that hit the stalled vehicle, according to police. A 5-year-old in the broken down car suffered life-threatening injuries, while a 4-year-old in the car suffered non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
The driver of the car Reid hit initially and two adults in the car that ran out of gas were not injured.
Kansas City NBC affiliate KSHB, which obtained a search warrant related to the case, reported Reid admitted to drinking before the crash.
The Chiefs are not traveling to Tampa, the host city for Super Bowl 55, until Saturday. The team was remaining in Kansas City due to COVID-19 protocols.
Reid has worked alongside his father, who has coached in the NFL since 1992 and taken the Eagles and Chiefs to the Super Bowl, since 2013. Andy Reid won his first title with Kansas City last year.
Britt Reid pleaded guilty to flashing a gun at another driver in a road rage incident in 2007 and served prison time. While in prison, he also pleaded guilty to a charge of driving under the influence from a separate incident.
