Despite accusations that he suffers from an inflated ego, ex- striker  insists that he's always taken a humble approach to his career.

Nicklas Bendtner insists his recent career struggles haven t phased him, and maintains that accusations he suffers from an inflated ego are wide of the mark.
+
 
+
A divisive figure among football fans, Bendtner scored just twice in 12 games for  last season, having spent the prior two campaigns on loan at Sunderland and Juventus after falling out of favour with Arsene Wenger.
+
 
+
Once considered the club s most exciting prospect, he had been a regular fixture in the first-team from 2007 to 2010 but failed to live up to the high expectations due to various off-field antics overshadowing his accomplishments, netting 47 times in 171 total appearances during his time in north London.
+
 
+
Signing for Wolfsburg in August after leaving the Emirates on a free transfer this summer, the Danish striker hasn t hit the back of the net at either the club level or for the national team since grabbing the opener in a 2-0  win over Cardiff City on January 1, but is confident he will soon rediscover his scoring touch.
+
 
+
  I think I ve always had a healthy humility. It may well be that I have not always shown it, but I think it's always been fine, he told newspaper  ahead of Denmark s Euro 2016 qualifier against Portugal.
+
 
+
  The situation in Juventus was that I played 10 matches and got injured, and I didn t play again that season. Then I went back to Arsenal, but managed to score two goals in a few appearances.
+
 
+
  Then I didn t play in the last six months, and now I have started at a new club where you naturally have to get used to it all. For me it is normal to need some time.
+
 
+
  When I was at Sunderland I was top scorer, had played fine with the national team and had played a great club season and had many great clubs to choose from.
+
 
+
  I chose Juventus, where the injury of course happened, and so there was all this b******* at Arsenal, as they would neither sell me nor let me play. I could not do anything about, so it's a different situation, and I think I have developed both as a player and person in all that time.
+
 
+
Despite mounting criticism, Bendtner hasn t paid much attention to what has been written about him in the press, and thinks the qualities he brings to the pitch shouldn t be in doubt.
+
 
+
  I do not know what you expect. You have your opinions and I have mine. I think I've proved I can score goals ad nauseam, he said.
+
 
+
  Every time I have not scored in four-five games, we talk always about why I have not scored. There are many factors in having to score, and we have seen many top scorers who have had troubles.
+
 
+
  I'm usually quite brilliant beyond when I'm injured, and I do not think that this way of looking at things is going to disappear. You choose what you want to affect your life, and there's nothing to damage or anything else that can get me down.
+
 
+

+
People I do not know cannot hurt me. They cannot hurt me, because I have nothing to do with it, he added.

+
  The journalists' job is to have an opinion; I respect that, although I may disagree. As a rule, I'm always happy. There are many things <going>on] in one s life all the time, but I see just positive things.

Is the criticism of Bendtner unfair?

@@@ If Willis has turf toe, he could be sidelined for several weeks. Cornerback suffered the injury in the season opener and has missed the past five games.

Rookie , a third-round pick, replaced Willis in the second half and had two tackles and tied a team high with two passes defended.

It appears possible the 49ers will visit and the Broncos on Sunday night with a linebacker corps comprised of , Borland, and . Skuta and Wilhoite are assuming the spots of (suspended) and NaVorro Bowman (knee).

In other injury news, cornerback (quadriceps) and left guard (concussion) exited in the third quarter. Wide receiver Stevie Johnson took a knee to his rear end when he recovered on onside kick in the fourth quarter and was optimistic he would play at Denver.

With Ward sidelined, played the nickel corner spot and rookie played in Cox鈥檚 spot on the outside. Johnson sealed the win with a 20-yard interception return for a touchdown with a minute left.

Staley鈥檚 close call: Left tackle was happy to see wide receiver catch an 11-yard, go-ahead touchdown in the third quarter, but he would have been even happier if he was celebrating in the end zone.

Staley, a tight end at Rockford (Mich.) High, reported as an eligible receiver on the 3rd-and-1 play, which was designed to be a pass to him. However, defensive end tackled Staley, drawing a holding penalty, and Colin Kaepernick found Boldin in the back of the end zone.

Prime-time performers: The 49ers extended their winning streak on 鈥淢onday Night Football鈥?to seven games, the second-longest in the NFL (Seahawks, 9).

They have outscored opponents 195-66 during their streak. Their last loss on MNF was a 25-22 defeat against New Orleans on Sept.20, 2010. The 49ers also have the most wins (46) on MNF.
