Rex disputes officials not recognizing timeout

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Buffalo Bills coach Rex Ryan says television audio will prove he called timeout before Miami Dolphins kicker Andrew Franks converted a game-tying 55-yard field goal with six seconds remaining in regulation Saturday.

The Bills later lost, 34-31, on another Franks field goal in overtime.

Referee Craig Wrolstad told a pool reporter after the game that head linesman Mark Hittner never heard Ryan call timeout.

"The guy [Hittner] on the sideline who was standing next to Coach [Ryan] said that Coach had not called timeout before the snap," Wrolstad said, adding the play was not reviewable.
