NEW YORK (AP) -- A Princeton man and Jets season-ticket holder files a class-action suit against the New England Patriots and coach Bill Belichick for "deceiving customers.''

Carl Mayer's suit stems from the Patriots being caught videotaping signals from Jets coaches, in violation of league rules, in New England's 38-14 season-opening win September 9.

Mayer's attorney, Bruce Afran, accused the Pats of violating "the integrity of the game." "This is a way of punishing Belichick and the Patriots.''

Mayer is seeking more than $184 million in damages for Jets ticket holders.

Belichick was fined $500,000 by the league, and the team was fined $250,000 for violating a league rule that prohibits clubs from using cameras on the sidelines for any purpose.
