Tank Bigsby’s Breakout Fuels Eagles’ 38-20 Win Over Giants

His 104-yard surge elevates him on the depth chart after a low-cost September trade for special-teams help.

Overview

  • Bigsby gained 104 yards on nine carries with five runs of 10-plus yards, including a 29-yard conversion on 2nd-and-26 in the fourth quarter.
  • Philadelphia piled up 276 rushing yards, the most allowed by the Giants since 2014 after entering the game ranked near the bottom in rushing offense.
  • Saquon Barkley ran for 150 yards and a touchdown before exiting with a groin issue that he said was not considered serious.
  • Head coach Nick Sirianni praised Bigsby’s explosiveness, and the rookie has moved ahead of Will Shipley and AJ Dillon on the depth chart.
  • New York’s run defense ranks last in the NFL, allowing 5.73 yards per carry and 148.9 rushing yards per game, underscoring a season-long weakness.
