So far this season, in addition to the 63 touchdown passes, he has completed 264 of 385 passes for 2,882 yards. Dixon leads the Outlaws in rushing with 382 yards and is second on the team with seven rushing touchdowns. He has even caught a touchdown on a one-yard pass thrown by teammate Charles Anthony in the team’s May 24th game against Sioux Falls. Dixon was recently named to his second UIF All-Star team. Last season, his first in the UIF, Dixon completed 184 of 286 passes for 1,922 yards and 52 touchdowns in the regular season. In the playoffs, he completed 38 of 49 passes for 378 yards and nine more touchdowns. In all, he finished the 2007 campaign, completing 222 of 335 passes for 2,300 yards and 61 touchdowns.

WICHITA, Kan. - The Billings Outlaws shook off a slow start and cruised to a 58-31 United Indoor Football win over the Wichita Wild on Saturday night.
The win, coupled with Bloomington's 64-43 win over Omaha, puts Billings in position for a first-round home game in the upcoming UIF playoffs.
Billings (9-4) wraps up the regular season this Saturday at River City (St. Joseph, Mo.), while Omaha (9-4) hosts Sioux City on Saturday. A Billings win (or an Omaha loss) this week would mean Billings will host Omaha in a first-round playoff game on June 21. Should Billings lose and Omaha win this week, the Outlaws would travel to Omaha on June 21.
Billings trailed 14-13 before scoring 10 points in the final minute of the first half on a 21-yard touchdown pass from Chris Dixon to Anthony Candler and a 44-yard Aaron Galvan field goal.
Wichita remained close throughout the third quarter before Billings blew the game open with 28 fourth-quarter points.
Dixon completed 22 of 34 passes for 198 yards and six touchdowns. Candler caught seven passes for 72 yards and two touchdowns. Robert Reed, Charles Anthony, Bernie Lewis and Jason Peters also caught touchdown passes.
Peters also rushed for 85 yards and a touchdown.

On special teams, these six Outlaws will join 44 others and play in the second UIF All-Star game to be held Saturday, July 19th at the Tyson EventsCenter in Sioux City,
Head Coach Heron O'Neal was pleased by his team’s six All-Star selections.
It's fantastic that our guys have been recognized by the opposing coaches, GM's, sports writers and their peers for this honor", stated head coach Heron O'Neal. "I am disappointed that Eugene Philips, Lindscomb, and Willie Austin were not selected as they are certainly having an All Star season and impressive stats this year but I know there was an effort by the league to recognize players from each team"
The Outlaws will next be in action next this Saturday, June 7th, when they travel to Wichita to take on the Wild at 7:05 p.m. Watch the game Live at the Sports Page Pub on Broadwater. The Outlaws are hopeful that in other league action that the Bloomington Extreme will defeat the Omaha Beef as this would give Billings a 1st round playoff game at Metra Park if both teams win their remaining game of the regular season.
The Outlaws are in their 7th year of Professional Indoor Football in Billings.
