1 thing every AFC team can do to make Super Bowl LV

theScore picks a major move each team can make this offseason to increase its chances of playing in Super Bowl LV on Feb. 7, 2021, in Tampa.

NFC I AFC

Baltimore Ravens

Get Lamar Jackson a No. 1 wide receiver

The Ravens used their 2019 first-round pick on lightning-quick receiver Marquise Brown, but it would still be completely reasonable for them to pick another with the 28th overall selection in April. Lamar Jackson's lack of receiving threats was clear during the team's shocking loss in the divisional round, and Baltimore should be aggressive in surrounding the soon-to-be MVP with as much talent as possible.

Buffalo Bills

Spend, spend, spend

Buffalo currently possesses the third-most cap space in the NFL as it prepares for the 2020 offseason. A Josh Allen extension may be coming in 2021, so general manager Brandon Beane should spend for the last season of the ascending quarterback's rookie contract. With nearly $82 million available, the Bills can re-sign defensive tackle Jordan Phillips and defensive end Shaq Lawson while signing a top free-agent wide receiver, cornerback, and pass-rusher. Buffalo is one strong offseason away from finally getting over the hump.

Cincinnati Bengals

Don't overthink the No. 1 pick

Though the Bengals insist everything remains in play with the first overall selection, Joe Burrow's name should already be written on the card. It's rare for a team to go from being at the top of the draft to a contender, but the 49ers are the latest example of how quickly it's possible to turn things around. It would require something special to get the Bengals to the playoffs, and Burrow proved himself capable of conjuring magic in his final year with LSU.

Cleveland Browns

Morph into a run-first offense

In 2019, the Browns ranked 22nd in rushing attempts per game. While this number is somewhat skewed by the fact Cleveland was often chasing a lead, it's clear that too much weight was put on Baker Mayfield's shoulders. The Browns should look to emulate the Titans' blueprint, with the quarterback taking a backseat to the intimidating duo of Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt.

Denver Broncos

Invest in the offensive line

Drew Lock, perhaps surprisingly, flashed potential as a franchise quarterback during his rookie season, so John Elway and Co. would be wise to protect their asset. The Garett Bolles experiment at left tackle has lasted long enough, and an upgrade on the interior is also necessary. Denver finished 7-9 in 2019 behind a solid defense and a scoring unit that didn't shoot itself in the foot. It stands to reason the Broncos can take the next step with their young passer if they can keep him upright.

Houston Texans

Hire a general manager

Head coach Bill O'Brien has done nothing to deserve the power he wields over the Texans, which he fell into after the team failed to land its preferred GM target during the last offseason and then opted to move forward with a committee approach. If Houston is to get over the hump, front-office decisions can't continue to be made by a coach whose first priority is keeping his job.

Indianapolis Colts

Acquire Cam Newton

Indy is more likely to target a quarterback in the draft with eyes on building a long-term contender. But if the goal is to win now, trading for Cam Newton or signing him as a free agent if he's released by the Panthers is one of the few high-upside moves that could push the Colts' roster - which was exposed as average following Andrew Luck's retirement - back to contender status.

Jacksonville Jaguars

Replace Nick Foles with a first-round quarterback

One season was enough to determine that Jacksonville likely can't win a Super Bowl with any quarterback currently on its roster (sorry, Gardner Minshew fans). While the Jags retained key coaches and executives, some new blood at the game's premier position would go a long way toward finding success in 2020. Packaging Nick Foles in a Brock Osweiler-type trade should be the first step, and moving up from No. 9 overall to select a quarterback in April's draft should be the next.

Kansas City Chiefs

Don't let Chris Jones leave

The Patrick Mahomes-Andy Reid combo ensures the Chiefs' offense is guaranteed to be among the league's best for the foreseeable future. But the defense could be in trouble if it loses Chris Jones, who's set to hit the open market. The 25-year-old is the best player on Kansas City's front seven, and whether it requires the franchise tag or an Aaron Donald-like contract, the AFC champions must retain him.

Las Vegas Raiders

Sign Tom Brady

A lot of teams' chances of making a title run could be greatly enhanced by the addition of Tom Brady. But outside of a return to New England, the future Hall of Fame quarterback's most tempting option might be joining forces with Jon Gruden. It would be easy to move on from Derek Carr, and Oakland's roster is closer to a playoff-caliber club than most realize. Raiders owner Mark Davis might've already begun the recruiting process, too.

Los Angeles Chargers

Trade up for Tua Tagovailoa

Philip Rivers is a free agent, and the veteran showed clear signs of regression this past season. The Chargers could re-sign Rivers with the hope that 2019 was a down year rather than the beginning of the end. But is that enough to dethrone the Chiefs? If Tua Tagovailoa is fully recovered from his hip injury, he could thrive as a rookie surrounded by the likes of Keenan Allen and Mike Williams.

Miami Dolphins

Hit on all three first-round picks

Brian Flores' squad isn't as far off from competing as you think. A 5-11 finish this season with the league's least talented roster was an impressive feat, and adding three blue-chip prospects could place Miami in postseason contention. Ryan Fitzpatrick was a fun story, but the Dolphins must zero in on a quarterback with their first pick this April and later add a playmaker from a deep receiving class, or pieces on the offensive or defensive line.

New England Patriots

Re-sign Tom Brady

Rumors of a divorce between the Patriots and Tom Brady will dominate the next few months ahead of the quarterback potentially hitting the open market for the first time in his career. But New England has no clear Plan B, and there are few, if any, better options for Brady if he's solely motivated by winning a seventh ring. An overhaul of the team's offensive talent must be the next priority, though.

New York Jets

Fire Adam Gase, hire Eric Bieniemy

New York already decided to retain Adam Gase, but maybe it should reconsider. The Jets ranked last in nearly every per drive metric last season and likely won't see significant improvement going forward. Gase isn't the worst head coach in the NFL, but he's not leading the Jets to a title anytime soon. By replacing him with Eric Bieniemy, New York figures to improve its offense drastically while, more importantly, helping Sam Darnold break out in his third season.

Pittsburgh Steelers

Get Ben Roethlisberger to buy into a reduced role

The Steelers nearly made the playoffs this season with Mason Rudolph starting eight games and Devlin Hodges starting six. Imagine if Ben Roethlisberger had stayed healthy. Big Ben likely can't air it out 50 times per game going forward, so reducing his workload while getting the ball in the hands of Pittsburgh's playmakers more often is in the team's best interest. Fueled by a stout defense, strong receivers, and a balanced rushing attack, Mike Tomlin's squad could make a run at the Lombardi Trophy in 2020 with Roethlisberger acting as a game-manager.

Tennessee Titans

Re-sign Derrick Henry

Derrick Henry put in a quiet performance as the Titans' Cinderella run ended at the AFC Championship Game. But keeping the dominant running back, who's a free agent, should still be Tennessee's top priority. Paying running backs elite money remains a controversial topic, but the Titans' offense is built around Henry's unique skill set.
