One Chicago crossovers are nothing new for fans of NBC's hit franchise, but this latest team-up didn't involve a call for backup, a medical emergency, or a major crime investigation.
On November 8, the casts of Chicago Fire, Chicago Med, and Chicago PD came together for an unexpected crossover moment as the stars of One Chicago hit the gridiron at Soldier Field to cheer on the Chicago Bears! Joining the fun were Chicago Fire stars Hanako Greensmith (Violet Mikami), Brandon Larracuente (Sal Vasquez), Miranda Rae Mayo (Stella Kidd), and Joe Minoso (Joe Cruz); Chicago Med’s Luke Mitchell (Dr. Mitch Ripley); and Chicago PD star Benjamin Levy Aguilar (Dante Torres), who came together to cheer on the Bears in their 27-24 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday Night Football.
NBC commemorated the event by sharing a series of photos of the One Chicago cast from the sideline of the game via Instagram. The stars went all-in on celebrating the Bears filming a hype segment during the game and giving their best bear roars for a group photo from the sidelines.
It seems NBC is going all-in this season with cross-promoting the One Chicago shows with help from the city's sports teams. In addition to sending a handful of the One Chicago cast members to cheer on the Bears during Sunday Night Football, Chicago Fire partnered with the Chicago Fire FC team for a celebration of First Responders for a first-of-its-kind event.
While the First Responders Night marked the first official collaboration for One Chicago and the Chicago Fire FC team, the One Chicago shows have a strong connection to the Chicago Bears.
The "Infection" crossover event saw the Chicago Fire, Chicago Med, and Chicago PD teams racing to protect the city following a bioterrorism attack involving a flesh-eating bacteria outbreak. The events of the crossover began at the most unexpected of places: Soldier Field!
That's right, the crossover began with the various members of Firehouse 51, Gaffney, and the Intelligence Unit coming together to enjoy a Chicago Bears game. Their plans quickly took a turn before the game even began when the outbreak struck at the tailgating party outside the stadium, setting the events of the crossover into motion. Check out a clip from the episode below:
It was the first time the show used the iconic backdrop of Soldier Field on the show, and it certainly made for a memorable moment. We haven't seen another in-show crossover at Soldier Field since, but seeing the One Chicago cast together at the Bears game certainly has us wanting another on-screen crossover.
Perhaps the next time the first responders of the One Chicago universe head out to enjoy a Bears game, they won't have their fun interrupted by a bioattack, and we can instead simply enjoy seeing a mini crossover moment in which a few members of Firehouse 51, Gaffney, and the Intelligence Unit come together to simply enjoy hanging out and taking in the game!
