Jaguars Reaffirm Travis Etienne as RB1 Despite Tank Bigsby's Standout Performance

Coach Doug Pederson maintains Etienne's starting role after Bigsby's 118-yard, 2-TD game against Patriots.

Tank Bigsby seized the opportunity as the lead back, rushing for 118 yards and two touchdowns in the Jaguars' 32-16 victory over the Patriots.
Despite Bigsby's strong showing, Coach Doug Pederson confirmed Travis Etienne will remain the starting running back upon his return from injury.
Etienne, who has been battling injuries this season, was inactive due to a hamstring issue and has struggled to match his previous seasons' performance.
Bigsby has been a bright spot for the Jaguars, leading the team with 415 rushing yards and four touchdowns this season.
The Jaguars' offensive strategy benefited from Bigsby's physical running style, which exploited the Patriots' defensive vulnerabilities.
