How do we continue to build on our recent success?

The Bengals need to focus on continuing to build their offensive and defensive lines. That (along with QB) is where they should be investing a lot of their equity. That's where championships are won.

Some of the first steps the Bengals can take is getting out from dumb contracts. Mixon, Boyd, and not extending Higgins long term.

Use the money there and invest it into higher impact groups like those mentioned above (OL and DL). If they do that and continue to hit on a few draft picks each year they will be fine.

Yep the Chiefs should be a blueprint for the running game, at least.
They have an elite passing attack, they don't need an expensive bell-cow RB.
Go with cheap veterans and a draft pick or two to form a good RBBC.

Also, get some draft picks who can come in as rookies and contribute.
They got good contributions from McDuffie, Karlaftis, Pacheco, etc.
You don't need to have a veteran starter at every position.
