But even though Carroll and everyone else are enjoying this accomplishment, he went out of his way to make sure young players know that kind of sustained success isn't something to be taken for granted in the NFL, pointing out veterans like Dunlap and Adams who had been waiting a while for this.
"I made a comment to the guys in the locker room, the guys who came to this program, the young guys have never been in it, they can't appreciate it like the guys that have been around the league that have come to our team to play with us, to play with Russell and Bobby and K.J. and Duane and all those guys, and try to be part of something that is different than what they been having," Carroll said. "I'm really, really happy about being able to share that with these guys. It's a good day. It's a big accomplishment."
In addition to this being Seattle's ninth playoff berth under Carroll and Schneider, its also the team's eight in the past nine seasons dating back to 2012, Russell Wilson and Bobby Wagner's rookie year. The Seahawks have also won 10 or more games in eight of nine seasons, a feat that is particularly impressive when you consider the Seahawks had five double-digit win seasons in the franchise's first 36 seasons prior to 2012. The Seahawks have nine straight seasons with a winning record, and with New England dropping to 6-8 with a loss Sunday, Seattle now owns the longest active streak of winning seasons in the NFL.
"It's a blessing," said Wilson. "I don't know what happened that one year we didn't (make the playoffs), but to be to be back in the playoffs, it's great, it's huge. It gives us a chance to try to do what we want to do, and that's to win the Super Bowl and try to bring another Super Bowl back home to Seattle. It's been a crazy year. Just think about everything that we've had to go through with COVID and the whole process of everything, the daily testing just, the Zoom calls. It's been a challenging season, and to be able to come to this point where we know that we have another chance to keep going, is a huge deal, and it's definitely a blessing for sure. I'm grateful to be able to be back in the playoffs again, it's something that you can't take for granted. Some of the greatest players to play have never been to Super Bowl, never won a Super Bowl or never even been to the playoffs sometimes. To be able to go back is definitely a blessing, it's a testament to our team as a whole."
