He played 4 downs then the other QB played 4 downs, repeat, interrupt for 4 quarters etc... with same low pressure footballs didn’t they ...... ?

I believe that each team provides their own footballs for use by their players. Link

An interesting quote from your link.

The Referee shall be the sole judge as to whether all balls offered for play comply with these specifications. A pump is to be furnished by the home club, and the balls shall remain under the supervision of the Referee until they are delivered to the ball attendant just prior to the start of the game.

Yes, each team supplies their own game balls - at least 12. the NFL supplies kicking balls. The home team supplies a pump and needle for the refs to adjust as needed before the game.
