you apparently haven't watched a game.
1)20 seconds is a long play.
2)They usually play continuously sans commercial interruption for 3-4 minutes at a time. Many commercial interruptions are due to time outs or injuries.
3)Each play is a strategy. A planned route by the offense which must be read by the defense, so in essence its the ultimate order vs. chaos theory applied to sports.
4)Unlike most sports which are continuous play (basketball etc) the drama in american football is the diversity of action from play to play.
5)If they played continuously for 10 minutes at a time without interruption you would have alot of injured and possibly dead players by the end of the season.
The game is that rough.
This is why its the greatest sport in the world.
