In '06 we also reached #1 in DR Z's (Sports Illustrated) rankings when we started the season 3-0 with road wins against Defending Super Bowl Champion Steelers and playoff bound Chiefs.
We had won 16 of our last 21 regular season games at that point but then only won 16 of our next 46.
I know every team has injuries, but that '06 team was crushed with injuries as well as suspensions. Rich Braham, David Pollack, Levi Jones, Bobbie Williams, Odell Thurman, TJ Houshmandzadeh, Jeremy Johnson, Ahmad Brooks, Chris Henry, Dexter Jackson, Deltha O'Neal, Brian Simmons, and Chris Perry all missed part (or all) of that season.
Pollack, Braham, and Thurman never returned and Levi Jones never fully recovered from his injury
