Division place 5th NFL Eastern | Record 2–10 Playoff finish did not qualify | |
The 1934 Pittsburgh Pirates season is the second season of the Pirates after formation the previous year. The 1934 Pirates (would later be renamed in 1940) began the season with a new coach, Luby DiMeolo, but again found themselves finishing in 5th place in the Eastern Division. The Pirates suffered a miserable 2–10 season, in which they were shut out in 5 games and only scored more than 10 points in 3 games.

One point of interest of the season was the arrival of John McNally for one season from the Green Bay Packers. Unfortunately this All-Pro and future Hall of Famer did not have much of an impact for the Pirates before returning to the Packers the next season.
