Yeah, it would make a lot of sense and may be what brings them better success this year. Nothing like a strong RB to help out a QB.

I picked the Ravens to beat them and they were just really bad offensively in that game and honestly on D too where the Chiefs Offense was
just not very good and still isn't. At least not near what it used to be when we played them in the AFC Championship games. The Chiefs Defense
has been the reason for their recent success.
The Bengals with Zac Taylor and Joe Burrow are 5-2 in the Playoffs and Super Bowl, much better record than Harbaugh and Lamar in this stretch.
Harbaugh summarises the Ravens for me. Always competitive and nearly always in the playoffs... but when you look at the playoff record, there's a lot to be desired. They've a had a LOT of cracks at the postseason under him, and only once have they won the AFC.
Of course winning in the postseason isn't easy, the AFC has had the Patriots dynasty and almost immediately afterwards, the Chiefs dynasty. Harbaugh and the Ravens know how to be consistently competitive, but haven't had what it's taken to go over the top. Which currently is something you'd say about their QB too.
