Longtime sports journalists Andrea Kremer and Hannah Storm will make history this week as the first female duo ever to call an NFL game as part of Amazon Prime Video’s newest streaming efforts.

Amazon has announced it will offer “Thursday Night Football” for Prime customers, and they’ve tapped Kremer and Storm to provide commentary and analysis for 11 of the games they’ll show, kicking off Thursday when the L.A. Rams host the Minnesota Vikings. Their decision to hire the award-winning sports commentators was quickly hailed as a refreshing change in sports journalism, and both women released statements expressing how excited they are to work together.

“Teaming up with Hannah and Amazon for this is truly special,” Kremer said. “Hannah is a brilliant journalist and she has been a friend for many years. With decades of experience as storytellers, we will be bringing a different voice and viewpoint to covering the game of football.”

Storm also praised her new partner in a statement: “I can’t imagine embarking upon this new role with anyone better than Andrea. A lifelong friend with Pro Football Hall of Fame credentials, she is the perfect partner. Together we’re looking forward to offering a new option for Prime members on Thursday nights and I’m excited to get to work!”

Amazon Prime will also offer Spanish-language and U.K. feeds, as well as an option with commentators Joe Buck and Troy Aikman calling the games.

As NPR points out, the announcement comes just a year after Beth Mowins became the first broadcaster to call an NFL game on national television. The first woman to call an NFL game ever was Gayle Sierens in 1987, when she called a regional NBC broadcast of a Seahawks-Chiefs game.

While people flooded Twitter with positive reactions to Kremer and Storm’s game-changing news, there were plenty of gross and disappointing comments that exposed the pervasive sexism in sports. Still, both women responded with grace, choosing to thank supporters instead.
