Jim Irsay has denied the existence of a rift between Ryan Grigson and Chuck Pagano.

The Indianapolis Colts lost their Week 1 game at the Buffalo Bills.

"That can't be farther [from] the truth," Irsay said. "Ryan and Chuck work hard together. They have a great relationship. I've seen coaches and general managers work together since I was 11 years old. I know the dynamic that needs to be there for them to work together. They have a great relationship."

What caused Irsay to seek out the media after the game was a report by CBSSports.com on Sunday that said Pagano has no say in personnel decisions and he was not able to put together his own staff.

"That report is completely false," Irsay said. "I can guarantee you that -- completely false. There is not one shred to truth to it at all. Honestly, these guys have a great relationship."
