In Week 12 of the 2020 season, Beebe scored a late go-ahead touchdown, which was also the first of his career, on a ten-yard reception from Kirk Cousins to secure a 28–27 victory over the Carolina Panthers, overcoming a muffed punt minutes earlier that had set up a Panther's field goal.[12] Beebe scored a touchdown on a 40-yard catch and run from Cousins in the final game of the season against the Detroit Lions.[13] He finished the season with 20 receptions for 201 yards and two touchdowns and nine punts returned for 42 yards.[14]
The Vikings initially declined to tender Beebe after the 2020 season, making a free agent, but quickly re-signed him to a one-year contract on March 17, 2021.[15] Beebe was waived/injured on August 31, 2021, by the Vikings and placed on injured reserve.[16]
