In football, "2nd and 9" refers to the down-and-distance situation where the offensive team is on their second attempt to advance the ball and needs to gain 9 yards for a new set of downs. This means they have already completed one play (1st down) and are now looking to convert on the next play to keep their drive alive. If they gain at least 9 yards, they will have a new set of downs; if not, they will face a third down attempt.
