Beebe also became known for a play that is known in some circles as the "Pogo Stick Play." In a 1989 playoff game against the Cleveland Browns, Beebe jumped up for a pass, and in the process was hit in the legs by Browns safety Felix Wright. The momentum of the hit flipped Beebe over as he fell down, landing squarely on his head, causing him to briefly bounce back upwards before falling to the field. While he was shaken up on the play, Beebe recovered enough to play in the second half. The slow-motion of Beebe's landing has since become a staple of NFL Films highlights. According to Beebe, he tore a neck muscle on the hit and nearly suffered paralysis. Beebe says that he still gets occasional numbness in his right arm as a result of the play.
