Tank Bigsby Breakout Reshapes Eagles' Backfield in Giants Win

A nine-carry, 104-yard surge with a clutch 29-yard conversion vaulted him into a bigger role following Saquon Barkley's minor groin exit.

Overview

  • Bigsby ran for 104 yards on nine carries, averaging 11.6 per attempt with five runs of 10 yards or more.
  • His 29-yard gain on 2nd-and-26 set up a Dallas Goedert touchdown as Philadelphia beat New York 38-20 to reach 6-2 heading into the bye.
  • Saquon Barkley rushed for 150 yards before leaving with a groin issue he said was not serious and that he could have returned from if needed.
  • Head coach Nick Sirianni praised Bigsby's explosiveness, noting "there's a reason we traded for him," and Bigsby has moved ahead of Will Shipley and AJ Dillon on the depth chart.
  • Acquired from Jacksonville in early September for two 2026 late-round picks after early special-teams struggles, Bigsby has earned an expanded offensive role.
