NFL-COLTS-DEFLATEGATE

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — General manager Ryan Grigson says that the Colts contacted NFL officials before last month's AFC championship game about their concerns with New England's game balls. The NFL has launched an investigation after it was found that the balls New England supplied for the game against Indianapolis were underinflated in the first half of the game.

Grigson did not say how the team was tipped off. Previous reports have indicated Indy first became suspicious after Mike Adams picked off two of Tom Brady's passes in November and that the Ravens had noticed the kicking balls were softer during a divisional-round loss to the Patriots.

League officials have not provided any updates on Ted Wells' investigation into "Deflategate."
