Pete Carroll opens up on Tom Brady facing Russell Wilson-less Seattle Seahawks
This season, Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Seattle Seahawks will play the NFL's first game in Germany. The game will be held on Sunday, November 13, at 9:30 AM ET, at the Allianz Arena in Munich. Fans in Seattle will have to wake up at 6:30 AM to watch their team play.
Seattle head coach Pete Carroll is looking forward to going to Germany for the first time to play overseas.
“I think it’s great. I’ve never been there, so I’m looking forward to the trip just like everybody else. I have a really good thought about going overseas because we’ve done it before, and we had a great trip when we went to London. The way our people handled it, you’ve got to get a lot of priorities in order, and our guys did a fantastic job the last time. So, I’m holding a good thought.
"It’s the experience of a lifetime for everybody here. As far as [German native and linebacker] Aaron Donkor is concerned, it couldn’t be sweeter. Obviously, he’s going to carry the flag out to open the game. At least, he’ll be able to translate for us, so we look forward to it, and we’ll try to make the most of it.”
Germany will host four games over the next four seasons. This includes the November game between the Seahawks and Buccaneers and an additional game in Munich, and two other games in Frankfurt.

Tom Brady is also the only quarterback to throw for, at least, 300 passing yards in three different countries and has the chance to make it four.

There is another person who will have the chance to create history in Germany. In 2018, the Seahawks, with Pete Carroll, beat the Raiders in London, 27-3. He'll have the chance to become the first coach in history to win in Germany if Seattle is victorious again.
