I took an odd journey to get to this source. The actual graphic posted here is rotated and some of its colors were changed. The source for the visualization is this reddit post which links to the WSJ article. According to comments on the reddit post, the visualization pulled from charts from the second archive link, but I can’t find them in the non-paywalled WSJ article (and I can’t access the original article since I’m not subscribed to the WSJ).
NFL has a streaming service that condenses games for rewatch. It’s literally just the relevant action. It’s a lot longer than 11 minutes. It is significantly less time than the full broadcast, though.
I suspect that chart here is like actual action, not counting presnap. The shortened game one’s still include replays and relevant presnap action. Though I agree, this still feels a little underestimated
The condensed games cut out most of the between play time. The only presnap you get is any motions by the offense. Also they generally limit replays to contested plays. Either way, it is 90% actual action as far as I can tell and it takes about 45 minutes to watch it.

It does seem like the pie chart is a little off from that but not by a ton, probably close enough for Internet stranger shenanigans
