From the episode

Bigsby was got on the ground. Shipley was the guy in the air... it should be Bigsby as that RB one, the carries were 13 to seven... The biggest frustration of this is the Eagles can't freaking run the football right now... Saquon Barkley ranks 53rd and Tank Bigsby now ranks 44th in yards before contact per attempt.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Bigsby earned RB1 role with Barkley out; Eagles' run game ranks 44th in yards before contact.

With Saquon Barkley sidelined by a stinger in Week 2, Bigsby got 14 runs versus Will Shipley's 7 runs, establishing him as the primary ground-game back. The source notes that in the Eagles' typical run-heavy style (Week 2 was an outlier with more passing due to a close game), Bigsby should be the RB1 in the backfield. However, the Eagles' run game is struggling: Barkley ranks 53rd and Bigsby ranks 44th in yards before contact per attempt among 54 qualifying backs, a concern tied to offensive line changes (Cam Jurgens moved to left guard, new center). The source expects this to improve but not immediately in Weeks 3–4.
