Today’s game in Charlotte is another early kickoff for the Seahawks, which they’ve gotten down. They’ve won 10 of their past 16 road games starting at 10 a.m. PST, including at Detroit and against the Raiders in London this season. According to ESPN charting, their .625 win percentage in such games since 2013 is by far the best among teams from the Pacific or Mountain time zones. Remember how hard it used to be for West Coast teams to go east and play in the early games? “I think it was hard to go east because everybody talked about it was hard to go east,” Pete Carroll said this week. “I mean, you’ve just got to go do it and it isn’t even a factor anymore. We don’t win them all, but we’re OK about it. It’s all the build-up and the talk and the clamor about it that adds to it. I don’t know; we’re fine about it. We do our trips the way we do them and we traveled a little earlier than some people but I’m not counting on it being an issue.”
