I don't know how verbatim they were with what he shared but I believe he's also openly talked about battling depression and other things as well. So it's not a stretch to believe he talked about this with them. 

I didn't catch most of the game so didn't hear what they said.  I know earlier in the year he stated that last season he was struggling and not enjoying football when he was talking about how much he appreciates being in Cincinnati.

Quote:Just from where I was last year, kind of struggling, not enjoying football, to coming here and being presented an opportunity,” Hurst said after Thursday’s win. “I was telling the guys I feel like I’ve gone to heaven coming here. It’s just incredible. Coaches value me, I’m being used the right way. It’s taken five years, but I think I’ve finally found a home.

I suppose saying you were not enjoying football can be interpreted as lost love for the game.  And yes he has been open about his battle with depression.  There is a very good video where he talks about it. 

Anyway no matter how he felt in the past I'm glad he is here.
