We’ve got to bring a Super Bowl to the city.” He also said that “I was taught you’ve got to speak stuff into existence. If you want to do something, you’ve got to say you’re going to do it and then you’ve got to go do it.” In the end, Ingram and the Chargers failed to make it to the Super Bowl when they lost to the eventual Super Bowl champion New England Patriots by a score of 41-28 in the divisional round of the playoffs.
On June 17, 2019, Ingram predicted that the Chargers would win Super Bowl LIV and stated that “We’re the team to beat in the NFL, not just the AFC West, it’s the NFL.

That’s how we’re going to get better.” In the end, the 2019 Chargers not only failed to go to the Super Bowl, but missed the playoffs entirely after posting a disappointing 5-11 record.
