I'm not a TicTok kid
A few seconds to think "wonder what they'll do here," a few seconds to think "what does it look like they'll do from the alignment," and a few seconds to think "OK they're moving some guys before the ball is snapped, what's that going to mean?" are not boring if you are interested in the sport.
Most of the people saying "football is boring because there is too much downtime" would find an 8-minute condensed version of a game similarly boring. They just don't like football.
Soccer is an interesting comparison, because if you don't understand or like it most of the action just looks like dribbling the ball around. What's interesting is much more a function of if you like and understand the thing than some sort of objective standard. Plenty of people liked Bob Ross and that was a dude painting forgettable landscapes!
I don't know of any condensed games that are all the way down to 8 minutes, but there are ~40 minute versions like this that are pretty common.
