was fired, and replaced by James Fuller for the remainder of the season. Eventually Clint Dolezel

Week 2: at Tulsa Talons
After a 20-yard touchdown reception by Derek Lee
, the Vigilantes had an 11-point lead with 6:33 left in the 4th quarter. However the Talons fought back with a pair of short touchdown runs by their quarterback, Justin Allgood, the second of which set up by a fumble recovery by Tulsa's Jamar Ransom at the Dallas 2-yard line. The Vigilantes' final drive fell short of a touchdown, resulting in a loss. Quarterback Shane Stafford
threw for 347 yards and 5 touchdowns, while Josh White ran for 33 yards and 3 touchdowns in the losing effort.
Week 3: at Tampa Bay Storm
Dallas got off to a quick start by returning the opening kickoff for a touchdown. Having lost starting quarterback Shane Stafford
to injury, Collin Drafts was called on to take his place. Drafts completed 21 of 30 passes for 212 yards, and had 5 total touchdowns on the day, but a key play with under a minute left in the 1st half shifted the momentum in the game to Tampa Bay. It was 4th and goal on the 1-yard line for the Vigilantes, but they were unable to take the ball in for a score, turning the ball over on downs. Now with possession, the Storm took the ball the length of the field for a touchdown. Instead of increasing their lead before the half, the Vigilantes now trailed. Drafts had a 15-yard rushing touchdown midway through the 3rd quarter to regain the lead, but the Dallas defense allowed Tampa Bay to take it right back, and Dallas never led the rest of the night. The loss dropped the Vigilantes to 0–2.
Week 5: vs. Oklahoma City Yard Dawgz
The Vigilantes won their first game in franchise history by defeating the Yard Dawgz 55–34. Dallas had a 20–0 lead after the 1st quarter. Oklahoma City scored the first three touchdowns on the 2nd quarter to take a 21–20 lead, but Dallas came up with three touchdowns of their own in the final minute of the half on a pair of passing touchdowns and an interception that was returned for a touchdown. The rest of the game did not see much scoring by either team, allowing Dallas to cruise to a victory.
Collin Drafts threw for 239 yards and 4 touchdowns, and also had a rushing touchdown. Larry Brackins was the leading receiver with 111 yards on 7 catches and 2 touchdowns.
Week 6: vs. Orlando Predators
After taking a 63–44 lead lead after 3 quarters, the Orlando Predators took advantage of turnovers on Dallas, which cost Dallas the game. Collin Drafts threw 6 touchdowns but had 3 interceptions, all in the 4th quarter. Drafts also fumbled a snap late in the game, which was picked up by Orlando at the Dallas 8 yard line and taken in for a touchdown.
Week 7: at Jacksonville Sharks
The Vigilantes fell behind 36–7 late in the 1st half. Scoring the game's next 3 touchdowns, they made it an 8-point game, and by the end of the 3rd quarter trailed 43–35. After the teams traded the first two touchdowns of the 4th quarter, Jacksonville took a 14-point lead on a fumble by Collin Drafts a yard out of his own end zone that was picked up by the Sharks and taken in for the score. Dallas ran out of time for a comeback, falling 70–49.
Drafts threw for 308 yards and 7 touchdowns with an interception. In all, Dallas had 4 turnovers in the game. Larry Brackins caught 12 passes, 5 for touchdowns, with 119 total receiving yards.
