Cuypers opened the scoring in the 17th minute, finishing a low cross from Maren Haile-Selassie to put the Fire ahead early. He added his second goal in the 64th, slotting home a rebound after Tom Barlow’s initial shot was saved.
Brian Gutiérrez capped the win with a goal in the 79th minute, curling a shot past Revolution goalkeeper Henrich Ravas from the top of the box.
New England pulled one back in stoppage time through Giacomo Vrioni, who converted a penalty after a VAR review for a handball.
The Fire (4-6-3) snapped a three-game winless streak. Chris Brady made four saves in goal for Chicago.
The Revolution (2-9-1) have now lost three straight and remain at the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings.
