Your Thoughts
What you heard is ridiculous on its face.

There are 60 minutes of playing time in an NFL game so it is absolutely impossible to watch the whole game from snaps to finish in less than 60 minutes. Add in clock stoppage for timeouts, ball hang time on kickoffs, clock stoppage for incomplete passes or runs out of bounds, and clock stoppage on change of possession and the time increases beyond 60 minutes.
