The pronoun "they" is a plural pronoun which is sometimes used with a singular antecedent.
For example, the noun 'jury' is a singular noun, a word for one group of people. Although it is grammatically incorrect to use the plural pronoun 'they' to take the place of a singular noun, it is a very common usage because of the imagery of the people of the jury, or the players on a team, the cows in a herd, etc.

The jury could not agree on a verdict. It was deadlocked. (correct)
The jury could not agree on a verdict. They were deadlocked. (incorrect but more common)
