COMMENTS ON THE GAME

INGOLD: “We set records together. We are going down in the history books together, statistically. At the end of the day, we didn’t win. At the end of the season, it’s tough, you have to learn your lessons. I feel for all of the guys. You put so much time in and the league, it turns over real fast. There is going to be a third of this room that’s not going to be here next year, and reality hits fast and it hits hard. I’m soaking in the last moments I have with these guys.”

Q: Is it frustrating that the game had to be played in conditions like this?

INGOLD: “This is the circumstance we put ourselves in, wins and losses and results. It felt like everything was leading up to being able to go into an adverse situation and being able to prove how much football matters to us and how much we care about one another. Obviously, the ball didn’t bounce our way today, but it’s football weather, man, it’s the beauty of this game. It’s imperfect. You just wish you could have done a little bit more. It’s just hurts not to execute the way we didn’t execute out there.”

Q: How frustrating might it be for you knowing how many talented players were unable to play tonight?

INGOLD: “The injury rate in the NFL is 100%. We lost some key guys, but I think it is a collection of the team, right. Champions are able to overcome the circumstances of the season and that was our challenge this year. That was our piece of adversity, and we couldn’t overcome it. It just hurts, as a leader of the team and as somebody that wants to contribute in these biggest games and the biggest moments. You don’t really think about injuries as much as wishing you could have been there for the guys that were suited up and the guys who couldn’t go and be able to put your best stuff out there. It was a tough one today.”

Q: What can you take with you into the offseason?

INGOLD: “You have to lean into this feeling. It has to motivate you. To become the best version of yourself, you can’t be afraid to get better. You can’t be afraid to fail and fall short and use that as the eventual success story. I think that is going to be motivation in the weight room, make sure our bodies are healthy, durable and be ready to withstand a new season and we have to come together closer as a team to overcome whatever adversity comes around the corner next year.”
