The last four teams standing -- Jets, Steelers, Packers, and Bears -- have received one final pep talk from the late Vince Lombardi.

Actually, it’s Dan Lauria as Lombardi from Lombardi, the Broadway play that debuted during the 2010 season. His remarks appear in a clip at NFL.com, and they’ll be played at the outset of NFL Network’s GameDay Morning, which gets rolling at 9:00 a.m. ET.

This time around, Coach Lombardi tells the remaining franchises that they’ve dreamed of getting to the Super Bowl, but that at this point they should quit dreaming.

Actually, we’ll shut up and let “Vince” do his thing. He has access to highlights. And inspiring music. And a kick-ass fedora.
