I bet it seemed like a lot more than that to Brett Favre, last Sunday evening.
The beauty of Football (I've only really followed the game for about a year now, coming from a place where soccer & basketball are the major sports) is that these short bursts of action are extremely concentrated, physically and mentally. The game may seem simple, but when you see the plays explained later on it's incredible how many variables go into each move.

BTW, one thing I think is unique to the NFL are these clips where they actually put a mic on a player for the duration of the game. Haven't seen it in any other sport yet, pretty cool: http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-films-sound-efx#orderBy:allTim...
