Losing four out of five is never a good thing, even if that fifth one was a complete and utter dud like the Jets’ effort during last week’s no-show in Houston.

But they shouldn’t panic. And if it’s true that a team takes its character from its head coach, the Jets won’t because Todd Bowles won’t.

That characteristic is not in his DNA.

More than halfway through his rookie season, Bowles has hardly looked like an excitable guy. He’s not going to be quick to run to the wholesale change market, searching for the quick fix to what appears to be a sinking ship.
