Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh disputes a report that his team informed the Indianapolis Colts of the New England Patriots' alleged under-inflating of footballs ahead of the AFC Championship.

"That's ridiculous," Harbaugh said Sunday during NBC's Super Bowl pregame show, according to Gregg Rosenthal of NFL.com. "I never made any call."

Harbaugh said he did not tip off Indianapolis following Baltimore's divisional playoff loss, but admitted to following up with head coach Chuck Pagano to see if anyone from the Ravens was in contact with the Colts.

Pagano confirmed that the Colts had not been tipped off by anyone from the Ravens, Harbaugh said.
