Casey Johnson's family is headed to Cincinnati today to gather around patriarch Woody Johnson and root on the New York Jets in their playoff game.
The Jets play the Cincinnati Bengals at 4:30 PM ET. The Johnson family bought the Jets from former owner Leon Hess back in 2000.
Johnson's body, meanwhile, has been released to the family and is being flown back to the east coast where a funeral service will be held in the next few days.
UPDATE -- TMZ has learned Woody Johnson, the whole Johnson family, coaches and team employees are wearing a blue bracelet in Casey's honor to represent the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, which was founded by the Johnson family. Since her passing, a memorial fund was set up in Casey's honor.
FOOTBALL UPDATE: The Jets won.

The New York Jets dropped some serious jack on QB Mark Sanchez hours after picking him fifth in this weekend's NFL draft.
TMZ has learned the Jets spent $13,488 to fly Mark and five other family members first class -- LA to NY Saturday night. Gang Green also picked up the tab for a business class seat and two coach tickets (Mark's nephew and sis-in-law drew the short straws).
Sounds like the Jets are going all out to match the pampering Sanchez got as BMOC at USC.
