If you thought controversy was over for Lions fans, you're wrong.

Check this out: Roman, a 10 year old from Amarillo, Texas, who happened to be a Detroit Lions fan was given tickets by his grandmother to attend the game this past weekend.

How cool is that?

Roman and his family went to the game and he participated in a contest that was held outside of the stadium for a chance to win Madden 15 for the PS4.

All Roman had to do was win a game of musical chairs. That is exactly what he did. Only one little problem: The host of the contest noticed he was wearing Matthew Stafford's jersey and didn't award Roman the prize.

Instead they started the contest over.

According to Kiss FM in Amarillo, his family spoke for about 10 minutes to get their boy the game. They were awarded a Led Zeppelin CD as a consolation prize.

These Cowboys are something else. You can't compare this to the blown call by the officials, but I bet this little kid felt just as bad.
