Miami Dolphins' Brian Flores 'concerned' about defense after drubbing

TAMPA, Fla. -- Even against one of the best offenses in the NFL, the Miami Dolphins' performance Sunday was alarming.

In their 45-17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Dolphins (1-4) allowed 558 total yards of offense -- including 411 passing yards and five touchdowns to the NFL's all-time leading passer, Tom Brady. It was their worst defensive performance under coach Brian Flores since allowing 643 yards to the Baltimore Ravens in their 2019 season opener.

The Dolphins, who have lost four straight games, aren't treating this like an outlier.
