WATCH Female NFL official gets bulldozed during Vikings-Packers game

NFL Week 16 Sarah Thomas has Anthony Chickillo Jersey been an NFL official for almost two full seasons now, and we rarely mention her name here, which is a good thing in the world of officiating because that means she's doing her job. The problem with being an NFL official is that even when you're doing your job, sometimes things can still get ugly. Just ask Thomas. During the fourth quarter of Green Bay's 38-25 victory over Minnesota on Saturday, Thomas got trucked by tight end . Then, making things worse, her head slammed down on the frozen tundra David DeCastro Jersey of Lambeau Field.Look out! Deadspin (@Deadspin) That looks painful, and the crowd at Lambeau clearly felt the same way. After Thomas went down, there was a collective groan from the nearly 78,000 fans at the game. The hit was so severe that Thomas had to leave the game for several Daimion Stafford Jersey plays. First, she was examined on the sideline. Then, she was taken to the locker room. In the end, everything checked out OK with her health and she was allowed to return to the game. Rudolph might have been the happiest person at Lambeau when Thomas returned to the field. After the game, the Vikings tight Maurkice Pouncey Jersey end tweeted about his collision. Was good to see line judge Sarah Thomas come back to the game after that collision. That's one tough woman! Kyle Rudolph (@KyleRudolph82) Thomas became the NFL's first female official when the league decided to hire her before the 2015 season. Anyway, even if you include that hit, Thomas still had a better day than the Vikings, Tyson Alualu Jersey who got rocked for four quarters in Green Bay.
