The 1964 Pittsburgh Steelers season was the team's 32nd in the National Football League.
The team played all of their home games at Pitt Stadium, and won five games, while losing nine, resulting in a fifth-place finish in the NFL Eastern Conference. Following the season, the Steelers dismissed head coach Buddy Parker and replaced him with Mike Nixon.
During the September 20 game against the Giants at Pitt Stadium, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette photographer Morris Bowman snapped a photograph of Giants quarterback Y.A. Tittle, in his 17th and final season, kneeling, his helmet off and his forehead bloody. It happened after defensive tackle John Baker hit him, leading to an interception by rookie Chuck Hinton, which was returned for a touchdown. The Steelers, who had been down 14-0 at the time, rallied, scoring 20 unanswered points and winning the game 27-24 over the Giants, who were led by backup quarterback Gary Wood for the remainder of the game. The photograph now hangs in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.
