If the Bengals can shore up the trenches, yes they will overtake KC.
Two good new guards, a solid edge rusher to help Trey, and adding an athletic rushing linebacker to play Golden's "viper" position.
Bengals do that, and they become the AFC favorite.
Improving the guards give Joe more time, improves the running game, and keeps the offense on the field, and the defense off of it.
Improving the pass rush makes the secondary better, gives the ball back to the offense more often, and makes elite QB's uncomfortable in the pocket.
Seems simple on paper.
