How do we continue to build on our recent success?

I'll offer my cursory take from a fantasy-GM lens for the current offseason:

1) Give Burrow his long-term contract.
2) Hold the line regarding Tee and a contract; don't pay him and proceed with him as WR2 under the current rookie deal.
3) Invest a high draft pick in a RB.
4) Continue to find ways to improve the starting OL and the OL depth.

Long-run plans:
1) Tee eventually leaves or is traded.
2) Sign Chase.
3) Balance the offense with the hopefully-emerging RB talent just drafted. I'm envisioning a RB who can make big-play runs that facilitate Burrow to Chase & company wide-open passes.
4) Always focus on building-up the OL.

Agree with these takes 100%. 

I'd explore franchise tagging Tee next year as well. You could trade him or even bring him back for another year before the Burrow contract really limits us financially.
