Overspeed

VMO/MMO are the maximum indicated speeds.
Boeing 737's Mach/airspeed warning systems are based on VMO/MMO.

My question here is, what about the ground speed? If we're having a strong tailwind during cruise at high altitude wouldn't lead to overspeed event without any overspeed warning and protection?
