The Vikings go into Sunday night’s game against the Seahawks with a 1-3 record.
Even so, the 4-0 Seahawks aren’t taking the Vikings — a team that won a playoff game last season — lightly.
“These guys have had a really tough schedule. The people they have played, they have had tough games against good people and they’re going to have a really good season,” Carroll said via Sid Hartman of the Star Tribune. “This is a good club. Because they’re so consistent, and you can feel the philosophy and Mike’s influence in all of that and they have really good coaches and coordinators that are loaded up with background. They have good history. They have a lot of assets and you can see it coming through the football.”
Carroll’s Seahawks have won the last six matchups against the Vikings. While the Vikings are probably better than their record, nearly everyone is expecting Seattle to move to 5-0 on a national stage.
