Better depth on OL (from last 4-5 games). The goal from preseason game one should be the fight for the #1 seed. No one in our division is challenging us for the North crown. The Chiefs got to rest week 1 of the playoffs and we had a tough physical game with the Ravens. After a 17 game season that week 1 buy in playoffs is huge. Even with our 4-4 start we were within a game of the #1 seed. With the contracts coming up I really think next year is our best chance at it and it propels us to our first Super Bowl win.The Bengals would have had the #1 seed THIS year had Zac challenged the TD that wasn't against Pitt on Chase's TD, and had the fluke injury to Hamlin not happened.
