Chicago has beaten New England five times and tied them twice since 2007.
Chicago goalie Andrew Dyskstra made six saves for his third clean sheet of the season.
Zack Schilawski misfired on point-blank headers in the 24th and 37th minutes
In the second half, Sainey Nyassi's uncontested left-footed drive from just inside the penalty box veered wide right in the 61st.
