If the Bengals OL is great, that will help, but I think one of the other big reasons that caused a problem last year was the run defense.
In the two deep postseason runs, the Bengals were 5th and 7th in rushing yards allowed. 13th and 9th in yards per attempt.
Last year though, they were 26th in rushing yards allowed, 30th in yards per attempt.
The run defense will also need to be solid for 2024 if the Bengals are going to be a Super Bowl contender again, IMO.

Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. Ended 9-8 but barely missed playoffs
Changes needed to do better in Sept/Oct moving forward.
