Also for the first time, three women worked the game Thursday night, one on the field and two in the booth. Maia Chaka was the line judge, Artenzia Young-Seigler the replay official and Desiree Abrams the replay assistant.
Ronald Torbert, who began as an NFL official in 2010, was the referee.
Las Vegas won 63-21.
