We Need a Nine Point Lead!
#1
Dusty Baker, the former manager of the Cincinnati Reds, had a favorite saying in the dugout:  "Five run lead!  We need a five run lead!"

What Dusty meant, of course, was for the Reds to stay at least five runs ahead of their opponent so should the opponent score with a grand slam home run, the Reds would still be in the lead. 

Over lunch I got to thinking about it and there's an analogy Zac Taylor and the Bengals should use: "We need a nine point lead!"  Why nine points?  If the Bengals are ahead by at least nine points then even with the largest score an opponent can make, a touchdown with a two point conversion, the Bengals would still lead the game.
