Standard ran for 256 yards in the second half to lead his team back from being down 24 points at halftime.

In putting up those numbers, Standard shattered the St. Louis area rushing record that previously was at 7,109 yards. Standard now sits at 7,267 career yards.

In another amazing statistic, Standard has scored a touchdown in 33 straight games.
