The 1924 Rochester Jeffersons season was their fifth in the National Football League (NFL). The club continued to stack losses on the 0–4 record of the 1923 team, finishing 0–7 — last in the 18-team league. In these seven losing NFL contests, the Jeffs were outscored by a margin of 156 to 7, suffering shutouts six times.

The team did win two of three games played against non-NFL opponents, with the best victory of the season coming in a lightly-attended final game against the Pottsville Maroons — a previously undefeated 12-win team that would join the NFL in 1925.
