Ogletree said official was trying to do right thing in throwing hat, glad he wasn't hurt in slip

Wide receiver Kevin Ogletree is glad he wasn’t hurt in a slip on an official's hat that was thrown in the end zone.

And it wasn’t even thrown because of him.

“I think he saw Miles step out of bounds,” Ogletree said Wednesday. “We were the only two receivers on that side. A lot of people thought it was me he was making the incorrect call on. He was just trying to do the right thing.”

Ogletree said he can’t be thinking he’s about to slip.

“You think you’ve got pretty good balance and a good idea of where you want to be and then you get your feet taken out from underneath you,” he said. “I thought it was a bad play for me. Any time a receiver loses their feet, it usually doesn’t turn out good.”
