The FO needed this win to determine whether they were going to pursue someone or not.
They need to bolster their defense with a pass rusher and/or DB to help against these playoff teams with stronger offenses than the likes of LV and CLE.
Bengals are 1.0 game out of the WC and have a critical stretch of 3 games against 3 teams in the playoff picture right now - BAL, LAC, PIT.
They need to go 3-0 or 2-1 in that stretch to keep their chances alive, so improving their defense and getting Higgins back healthy would improve those chances.
It would also help to try to get a LT to replace Ford. Not sure if there are guys worth trading for, but there are some names still available in FA that might be interested to join a playoff push for half a season. Whoever joined would have to be ok as a swing tackle once OBJ is back though.

The pessimist in me says we only beat bad teams and our schedule gets harder with Tenn abd Clev being the only bad teams left.
